ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

75 Hard Challenge holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forge has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Forge's written reviews are positive against 0% of 75 Hard Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Forge ships an update fortnightly, 75 Hard Challenge every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
