Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cannon Shot! at 4.6 against Boxed In's 3.6. Cannon Shot! also leads on ratings volume (79K vs 610).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cannon Shot! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cannon Shot! has 79K ratings behind it against 610, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Boxed In's written reviews are positive against 36% of Cannon Shot!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
