Hexa Knot holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hexa Knot has 290 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Hexa Knot's written reviews are positive against 75% of Tangle Ropes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hexa Knot ships an update every 6 months, Tangle Ropes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
