Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Location? at none against NYC Precinct Map's shown. Location? also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 9 months). NYC Precinct Map's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NYC Precinct Map sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Location? sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for NYC Precinct Map against 5.0 for Location?. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NYC Precinct Map has 1.2K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
NYC Precinct Map ships an update every 9 months, Location? weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
