ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rapid Cube holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deadlock has 4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Deadlock's written reviews are positive against 0% of Rapid Cube's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Deadlock ships an update monthly, Rapid Cube every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
