ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shadowrocket holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shadowrocket has 12K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Shadowrocket's written reviews are positive against 100% of 轻诉's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shadowrocket ships an update weekly, 轻诉 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
