ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Escape holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Escape has 68 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Escape #4's written reviews are positive against 81% of Escape's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
