ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GeoTracker Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GeoTracker Lite has 269 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of GPX viewer's written reviews are positive against 23% of GeoTracker Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GPX viewer ships an update every 3 weeks, GeoTracker Lite every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
