# Hidden Objects vs Cursed Fables 4

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hidden Objects at 83% against Cursed Fables 4's 38%. Hidden Objects also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). Cursed Fables 4's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Hidden Objects's written reviews are positive against 38% of Cursed Fables 4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
