Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Picture Hunt at Free against Blockwick 2's $4.99. Picture Hunt also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (6K vs 103). Blockwick 2's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Picture Hunt holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Picture Hunt has 6K ratings behind it against 103, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Blockwick 2's written reviews are positive against 44% of Picture Hunt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Blockwick 2 ships an update every 2 months, Picture Hunt every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
