ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

KnuckDeWay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZAGA has 172 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of ZAGA's written reviews are positive against 0% of KnuckDeWay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ZAGA ships an update weekly, KnuckDeWay every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and August 10, 2026 respectively.
