Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Fly Challenge at Free against Penguin Roll's $0.99. Fly Challenge also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.1) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 20). Penguin Roll's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 27%) and in-app purchases (none vs 20). On update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fly Challenge holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fly Challenge has 1.3K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Penguin Roll's written reviews are positive against 27% of Fly Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Penguin Roll ships an update every 3 months, Fly Challenge every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
