GroundPad holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GroundPad has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Fasttrak Driver App's written reviews are positive against 10% of GroundPad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fasttrak Driver App ships an update every 2 months, GroundPad every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
