ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gold Miner Season holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gold Miner Season has 43 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Gold Miner Season's written reviews are positive against 100% of run zigzag's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Gold Miner Season ships an update every 6 weeks, run zigzag every 19 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
