ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Balls Challenge holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Maze King has 785 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Maze King's written reviews are positive against 0% of Balls Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Maze King ships an update every 6 months, Balls Challenge every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
