ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Match Tile 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Tile 3D has 95K ratings behind it against 2.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Tile Connect's written reviews are positive against 18% of Match Tile 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tile Connect ships an update every 6 weeks, Match Tile 3D every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
