ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rainbow Blocks holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rainbow Blocks has 452 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Rainbow Blocks's written reviews are positive against 100% of Christmas Countdown Game 2024's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rainbow Blocks ships an update every 3 weeks, Christmas Countdown Game 2024 every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
