ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Waterspeed Sailing GPS Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Waterspeed Sailing GPS Tracker has 1.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Waterspeed Sailing GPS Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Endless Waves Foil Progression's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Waterspeed Sailing GPS Tracker ships an update every 10 days, Endless Waves Foil Progression weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
