ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dice Merge! Puzzle Master holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dice Merge! Puzzle Master has 23K ratings behind it against 217, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Farkle Dice!'s written reviews are positive against 30% of Dice Merge! Puzzle Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
