ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Collapse! Blast holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Collapse! Blast has 1.6K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Hexbee's written reviews are positive against 42% of Collapse! Blast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hexbee ships an update every 4 months, Collapse! Blast monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
