ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rolly Vortex holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rolly Vortex has 305K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Rolly Vortex's written reviews are positive against 100% of run zigzag's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rolly Vortex ships an update every 4 months, run zigzag every 19 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
