ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Monument Valley 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monument Valley 2 has 14K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Freddi Fish 3's written reviews are positive against 77% of Monument Valley 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Freddi Fish 3 ships an update every 5 months, Monument Valley 2 every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
