Garmin Clipboard™ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Garmin Clipboard™ has 899 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Garmin Clipboard™'s written reviews are positive against 67% of XC Time Splits's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Garmin Clipboard™ ships an update every 6 weeks, XC Time Splits every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
