ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Marbles Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: [Boom] has 68 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Marbles Plus's written reviews are positive against 100% of [Boom]'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Marbles Plus ships an update every 2 months, [Boom] every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
