ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TreasureHunter3D holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metal Detector Simulator Prank has 59 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of TreasureHunter3D's written reviews are positive against 59% of Metal Detector Simulator Prank's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TreasureHunter3D ships an update every 11 months, Metal Detector Simulator Prank every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
