# Arrow vs Twisty Road!

Arrow and Twisty Road! both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 84% of Arrow's written reviews are positive against 46% of Twisty Road!'s. Arrow also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). Twisty Road!'s advantage is ratings volume (113K vs 8.1K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arrow sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Twisty Road! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Twisty Road! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twisty Road! has 113K 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 46% of Twisty Road!'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 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
