ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Alabama Bones holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vertigo Rogue Lite has 516 ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Vertigo Rogue Lite's written reviews are positive against 63% of Alabama Bones's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vertigo Rogue Lite ships an update monthly, Alabama Bones every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
