ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nano Runner holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lost Potato has 110 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Lost Potato's written reviews are positive against 0% of Nano Runner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lost Potato ships an update every 4 days, Nano Runner weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
