ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Draw Something holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Let's Draw has 357 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Draw Something's written reviews are positive against 89% of Let's Draw's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Draw Something ships an update every 6 months, Let's Draw every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
