Verdict
Legend Pirates and Retra both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 64% of Legend Pirates's written reviews are positive against 15% of Retra's. Legend Pirates also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Retra's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 11) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Retra sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Legend Pirates asks for nothing beyond the download.
Retra holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Retra has 3K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Legend Pirates's written reviews are positive against 15% of Retra's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Legend Pirates ships an update fortnightly, Retra every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
