ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Drop Stack Ball holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drop Stack Ball has 2K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 98% of Springer's written reviews are positive against 91% of Drop Stack Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Springer ships an update every 3 months, Drop Stack Ball every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 13, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
