# Four Squares vs Bloom Sort

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 16, 2026 respectively.
