ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Loop Army holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop Army has 35 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Mine Drillers's written reviews are positive against 27% of Loop Army's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mine Drillers ships an update every 3 weeks, Loop Army fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on July 6, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
