Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Arrow at none against TENKYU's shown. Arrow also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). TENKYU's advantage is ratings volume (255K vs 8.1K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Arrow sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and TENKYU sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TENKYU holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TENKYU has 255K ratings behind it against 8.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Arrow's written reviews are positive against 59% of TENKYU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Arrow ships an update every 6 weeks, TENKYU monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
