Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LEGO® Ninjago™ at 3.3 against Apple Pick's 1.0. LEGO® Ninjago™ also leads on ratings volume (5.3K vs 1) and chart position (#35 vs unranked). Apple Pick's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 51%) and price ($0.99 vs $4.99). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LEGO® Ninjago™ holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LEGO® Ninjago™ has 5.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Apple Pick's written reviews are positive against 51% of LEGO® Ninjago™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Apple Pick ships an update every 38 months, LEGO® Ninjago™ every 21 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
