ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hidden Objects holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Objects has 1.6K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Buster's Journey's written reviews are positive against 60% of Hidden Objects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Buster's Journey ships an update fortnightly, Hidden Objects every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
