ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SILT holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SILT has 3.6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of run zigzag's written reviews are positive against 77% of SILT'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, SILT every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
