ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smithing Master holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smithing Master has 2.8K ratings behind it against 175, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Elemental Adventurer's written reviews are positive against 47% of Smithing Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Elemental Adventurer ships an update every 4 weeks, Smithing Master every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
