ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hidden Through Time holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Through Time has 1K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Hidden Through Time's written reviews are positive against 50% of Hidden Doodles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hidden Through Time ships an update every 11 days, Hidden Doodles every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
