ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GPS Fields Area Measure Map holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Fields Area Measure Map has 13K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Free Map Tools's written reviews are positive against 56% of GPS Fields Area Measure Map'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 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 8, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
