Officers can review evidence in the field after the incident, providing investigators with the ability to gain a more complete perspective on how events unfolded.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MatrixGo at 100% against Axon's 40%. MatrixGo also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Axon's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Axon holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Axon has 1.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of MatrixGo's written reviews are positive against 40% of Axon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MatrixGo ships an update every 5 months, Axon every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
