ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shape Rhythm holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shape Rhythm has 195 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Dodge Red's written reviews are positive against 48% of Shape Rhythm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dodge Red ships an update every 4 months, Shape Rhythm every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
