ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Idle Graffiti holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PureSkate 1+2 has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of PureSkate 1+2's written reviews are positive against 41% of Idle Graffiti's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PureSkate 1+2 ships an update every 5 weeks, Idle Graffiti monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
