Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 消消星星2016 at none against Star Blast's 16. 消消星星2016 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.6). Star Blast's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (555 vs 9). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Star Blast holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star Blast has 555 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Star Blast's written reviews are positive against 82% of 消消星星2016's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Star Blast ships an update every 9 days, 消消星星2016 every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
