ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mine Runner K holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digger Machine has 351 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Digger Machine's written reviews are positive against 33% of Mine Runner K's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Digger Machine ships an update every 3 months, Mine Runner K every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
