Four Squares is a game of memory, skill, and concentration. Watch what happens each turn and repeat what you see. Each time you successfully repeat the sequence it is lengthened, the speed increases, and your thinking time is shortened. Keep practising, work your way up the leaderboards, and challenge your friends. ----- 3 Game Modes ----- Four Squares features 3 different game modes to challenge you in unique ways. Each game mode can be played with easy, normal, or hard difficulty. Endless is the classic mode that gives you a single life to repeat the longest sequence you can. One wrong move and it's game over! Time Attack mode gives you 30 seconds to repeat the longest sequence you can. Every correct sequence will win you some more time, but every wrong move will lose you time so don't rush! Speedrun mode gives you 3 lives to reach a sequence of 10 in the quickest time. You'll lose a life with each wrong move, but the timer doesn't stop so find the right balance of speed and accuracy. ----- Customisation ----- With 9 themes and 6 sound packs Four Squares allows you to customise the experience to your heart's content. ----- Save, Sync, and Replay ----- Each game you complete is saved and backed up to iCloud. You can view completed games on any device and choose to play the same sequence to get the best score. ----- Automatic Pausing ----- When interruptions occur, such as phone call or replying to a text, Four Squares will automatically pause the game and allow you to resume where you left off. ----- Leaderboards ----- Game Center integration provides leaderboards that let you compare your score to friends and other players worldwide. ----- Privacy ----- Four Squares doesn't collect user data or contain any adverts. It is funded by a single in-app purchase that unlocks extra themes and sound packs.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Four Squares at 79% against Bloom Sort's 16%. Four Squares also leads on ads (none vs shown). Bloom Sort's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 57 months) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Four Squares sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bloom Sort sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bloom Sort holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bloom Sort has 2.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Four Squares's written reviews are positive against 16% of Bloom Sort's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Four Squares ships an update every 57 months, Bloom Sort every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
