ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BedrockConnect for Minecraft holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BedrockConnect for Minecraft has 3.3K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of BDFD's written reviews are positive against 51% of BedrockConnect for Minecraft's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BDFD ships an update every 2 weeks, BedrockConnect for Minecraft every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
