Hideaways is an immaculate take on spot-the-difference games. It unfolds through beautifully crafted worlds, handmade atmospheric music, untimed scavengers, and 144 human stories — gently woven in, where places carry real feeling and stories are discovered, not told. Both a moment of calm and a quiet challenge, Hideaways invites you to slow your breathing, calm your mind, and wander through aesthetic and auditory pleasures — all while gently exercising attention and memory, and inviting reflection on real-life moments and stories.

Verdict
Easy and Hideaways both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 70% of Easy's written reviews are positive against 44% of Hideaways's. Easy also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). Hideaways's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 267). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hideaways sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Easy against 4.7 for Hideaways. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hideaways has 2.4K ratings behind it against 267, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 70% of Easy's written reviews are positive against 44% of Hideaways's.
Easy ships an update fortnightly, Hideaways monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
