ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

cube farm holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: cube farm has 547 ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of cube farm's written reviews are positive against 92% of Mystery Digger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

cube farm ships an update fortnightly, Mystery Digger every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
