ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vector Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chameleon Run has 21K ratings behind it against 2.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Vector Classic's written reviews are positive against 92% of Chameleon Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vector Classic ships an update every 4 months, Chameleon Run every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
