# BOWBLITZ vs Penguin GO!

The clearest difference is rating: BOWBLITZ at 4.8 against Penguin GO!'s 4.6. BOWBLITZ also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Penguin GO!'s advantage is chart position (#167 vs unranked) and review sentiment (47% vs 36%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BOWBLITZ sells 36 one-off in-app purchases and Penguin GO! sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BOWBLITZ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.1K and 3.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of BOWBLITZ's written reviews are positive against 47% of Penguin GO!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
