VTI SkyTracker holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SYMA FLY has 476 ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of SYMA FLY's written reviews are positive against 5% of VTI SkyTracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SYMA FLY ships an update every 2 months, VTI SkyTracker every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
