Where Does Block Out! Store Progress?

Block Out! stores level progress and settings in app-private storage on Android and in its iPhone container. There is no account and no cloud sync.

Last updated

Block Out! is Grand Games' color-sort puzzler, the one that sat at number two on the App Store's casual chart with hundreds of thousands of ratings. It plays offline, and progress is local, so there is no save file to move between devices.

The name causes confusion on Google Play, where several block games use similar titles. The listing that matches this game is the one by Grand Games, and its package name still reads catblockjam from an earlier version of the game, which is normal after a rename. Match the developer, not the title.

Where Block Out! stores this, by platform

Android
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.grandgames.catblockjam

Scoped storage for Grand Games' listing. The real progress database sits in the private half at /data/data/com.grandgames.catblockjam, out of reach without root. Similar-looking packages on the Play Store belong to other studios, so check the developer name before poking at folders.

iOS
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<guid>

The app's container in the iOS sandbox, where the guid changes with every install. It shows up in Settings under iPhone Storage with no user-visible folder inside. Only a full device backup captures it.

Frequently asked questions

Does Block Out! have cloud saves?

No. There is no sign-in and no cloud sync. Completed levels and settings live in local app storage, so the game does not follow you to a new phone unless a device backup carries it.

Why do I see several apps called Block Out on Google Play?

Different studios use similar names. The app this page covers is by Grand Games, with the package name com.grandgames.catblockjam, which survives from when the game was called Cat Block Jam. Check the developer line on the listing.

Where is Block Out! progress stored on iPhone?

In the app's container in the iOS sandbox, inside the app-private storage that file managers cannot reach. The iPhone Storage screen shows the app's footprint, and a full device backup is the only way to preserve or move it.
