ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Idle Sword Master holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Sword Master has 2.4K ratings behind it against 332, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Idle Sword Master's written reviews are positive against 30% of Idle Block Miner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Idle Sword Master ships an update every 4 weeks, Idle Block Miner weekly. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
