Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: 猜字谜 at Free against Mandarin Challenge's $0.49. 猜字谜 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 57%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). Mandarin Challenge's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 35 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mandarin Challenge holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mandarin Challenge has 35 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 猜字谜's written reviews are positive against 57% of Mandarin Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

猜字谜 ships an update every 35 months, Mandarin Challenge weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
