# The Vikings vs Arrow Go!

The clearest difference is update cadence: Arrow Go! at every 6 weeks against The Vikings's every 38 months. Arrow Go! also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). The Vikings's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 63%). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Vikings sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Arrow Go! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Arrow Go! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 164 and 360 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of The Vikings's written reviews are positive against 63% of Arrow Go!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Vikings ships an update every 38 months, Arrow Go! every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
