ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Unsolved Case holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unsolved Case has 100 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of It Happened Here 2's written reviews are positive against 33% of Unsolved Case's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

It Happened Here 2 ships an update every 4 months, Unsolved Case every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
