Verdict

The call

Bubble Crackle and Bubble Bust! Blitz both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Bubble Crackle's written reviews are positive against 13% of Bubble Bust! Blitz's. Bubble Crackle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bubble Bust! Blitz holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Crackle has 924 ratings behind it against 145, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Bubble Crackle's written reviews are positive against 13% of Bubble Bust! Blitz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bubble Crackle ships an update every 3 weeks, Bubble Bust! Blitz every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
