# Full Sail One vs SHADOU

Full Sail One and SHADOU both sit at 3.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of SHADOU's written reviews are positive against 50% of Full Sail One's. Full Sail One's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.9 for Full Sail One against 4.0 for SHADOU. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Full Sail One has 70 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
