You have 10 minutes to unscramble a set of 8 unique letters and build as many words as possible. There is always 1 letter that is required to be in the word. Each word you find adds a bit more time to the clock. There are two game modes that you can choose from each day. Battle mode (2-16 players) You can play against your friends in this mode. The results will update live. When you're winning, your screen is green and when you're losing, it turns red. It gets very exciting. Solo mode Don't have anyone else to play with? That's okay. We have a solo mode too. If you make it to Genius alone, then you truly are one. Good luck. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swapple at none against Bloobi's 2. Swapple also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Bloobi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
