ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cribbage ++ holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage ++ has 221 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Cribbage Square Collection's written reviews are positive against 37% of Cribbage ++'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cribbage Square Collection ships an update every 2 months, Cribbage ++ every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
