ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shaft Run holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pull Dash has 78 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Shaft Run's written reviews are positive against 70% of Pull Dash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shaft Run ships an update every 2 months, Pull Dash fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
