Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GPS Fields Area Measure Map at 57% against SmartThermal's 8%. GPS Fields Area Measure Map also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). SmartThermal's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SmartThermal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Fields Area Measure Map has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of GPS Fields Area Measure Map's written reviews are positive against 8% of SmartThermal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GPS Fields Area Measure Map ships an update fortnightly, SmartThermal every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
