Sand Block holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sand Block has 36 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of UeharaPuzzle's written reviews are positive against 27% of Sand Block's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
