ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gowalk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phoring has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Phoring's written reviews are positive against 0% of Gowalk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Phoring ships an update every 3 weeks, Gowalk every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
