Draw Climber holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 100% of run zigzag's written reviews are positive against 47% of Draw Climber's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

run zigzag ships an update every 19 months, Draw Climber monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
