ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Puffy Dash holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Puffy Dash has 56 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Rock Drill Miner's written reviews are positive against 17% of Puffy Dash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rock Drill Miner ships an update every 2 months, Puffy Dash every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
