ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rope Off holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rope Off has 204 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Paths Away's written reviews are positive against 67% of Rope Off's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Paths Away ships an update every 9 days, Rope Off weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
