ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Merge Fields! holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DOODLE SQUARES has 477 ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of DOODLE SQUARES's written reviews are positive against 58% of Merge Fields!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DOODLE SQUARES ships an update every 2 months, Merge Fields! every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
