ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Word Association Tiles holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Association Tiles has 4K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Daifugo's written reviews are positive against 51% of Word Association Tiles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Daifugo ships an update fortnightly, Word Association Tiles every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
