# Ninjas vs Ninja Gear

Ninjas and Ninja Gear both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 92% of Ninjas's written reviews are positive against 61% of Ninja Gear's. Ninjas also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Ninja Gear's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months).
