ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Visit Nantucket! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visit Nantucket! has 132 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Visit Nantucket!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Martha's Vineyard Audio Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Visit Nantucket! ships an update every 4 months, Martha's Vineyard Audio Guide every 19 months. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
