ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PIXEL PUZZLE COLLECTION holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PIXEL PUZZLE COLLECTION has 3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Black Like Me's written reviews are positive against 72% of PIXEL PUZZLE COLLECTION's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Black Like Me ships an update every 6 weeks, PIXEL PUZZLE COLLECTION every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
