ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Color Code Breaker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Code Breaker has 2.3K ratings behind it against 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Color Code Breaker's written reviews are positive against 90% of Guess the Code HD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Color Code Breaker ships an update every 6 months, Guess the Code HD every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
