ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MindStep holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star Vanisher...!! has 54 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of MindStep's written reviews are positive against 94% of Star Vanisher...!!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MindStep ships an update every 51 months, Star Vanisher...!! every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
