A Simple Task holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Max Slide Puzzle has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of A Simple Task's written reviews are positive against 20% of Max Slide Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
A Simple Task ships an update every 20 months, Max Slide Puzzle every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
