Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Narrow Arrow at 85% against Bold Attack's 19%. Bold Attack's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bold Attack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Narrow Arrow sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bold Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bold Attack has 418 ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Bold Attack's written reviews are positive against 85% of Narrow Arrow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bold Attack ships an update daily, Narrow Arrow every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
