Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Arrow Twisty at none against Five Hoops's 2. Arrow Twisty also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 67%). Five Hoops's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (120K vs 128). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Five Hoops holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Five Hoops has 120K ratings behind it against 128, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Arrow Twisty's written reviews are positive against 67% of Five Hoops's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Arrow Twisty ships an update every 2 weeks, Five Hoops fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
