ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RogueVana holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phantom Tower has 115 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of RogueVana's written reviews are positive against 72% of Phantom Tower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RogueVana ships an update every 8 days, Phantom Tower every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
