ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tile Cat 3 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tile Cat 3 has 506 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Tile Cat 3's written reviews are positive against 67% of Tanghulu Sort Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tile Cat 3 ships an update weekly, Tanghulu Sort Maker every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and August 28, 2026 respectively.
