ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Map Puzzles holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Map Puzzles has 150 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Jigsaw Puzzles History's written reviews are positive against 67% of Map Puzzles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Jigsaw Puzzles History ships an update every 4 weeks, Map Puzzles every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
