ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smash Bugs X holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smash Master ! has 34K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Smash Bugs X's written reviews are positive against 38% of Smash Master !'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Smash Bugs X ships an update every 12 months, Smash Master ! every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
