ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Donut Stack Sort holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Donut Stack Sort has 167 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Buzzing Hexagons's written reviews are positive against 26% of Donut Stack Sort's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Buzzing Hexagons ships an update every 2 months, Donut Stack Sort every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
