Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: OilTrails at 4.2 against Navo's 3.5. OilTrails also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). Navo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (50% vs 28%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OilTrails holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of OilTrails's written reviews are positive against 50% of Navo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OilTrails ships an update every 5 weeks, Navo every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 27, 2026 respectively.
