ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Knit N Loop holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Knit N Loop has 1.1K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Spill the Sand's written reviews are positive against 25% of Knit N Loop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spill the Sand ships an update every 7 months, Knit N Loop weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
