ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Life Puzzle_ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cheatsheet has 1.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Cheatsheet's written reviews are positive against 0% of Life Puzzle_'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cheatsheet ships an update every 2 weeks, Life Puzzle_ every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
