Discover and collect Space Invader mosaics around the world with Mapvaders, the ultimate companion for invader hunters. THE MAP IS THE APP No tab bar, nothing to learn. Thousands of Invader mosaics sit on one map, and a panel over it lists what is near you. Drag it up to read the list, push it down to give the city back to the map. Pick a city and the map flies to it; tap an invader in the list and the map comes onto that piece. FIND ANY INVADER Search by name, by a code like PA_1159, or by city, and the map opens what you picked. The Atlas indexes every invader, grouped under its city, with filters for district, points, condition and flash status behind a single button that tells you how many are on. TRACK YOUR COLLECTION Mark invaders as "flashed" when you find them. Your Record holds your statistics, an activity heatmap by day and hour, a timeline of every flash, a gallery of your photos, the rarest pieces you have flashed, and the ones destroyed since. HUNT WITHOUT A SIGNAL Download a city's map before you go and hunt it with no network at all. Settings lists every downloaded city with its size and date, and removes it in one tap. STAY INFORMED WITH PROACTIVE ALERTS Follow your favorite cities and get a push notification the moment a new invader appears in one of them. Never miss a new invasion. READABLE AT A GLANCE Flash status and condition read by shape as well as by color, so one look is enough in bright sun. Every figure is set in a monospaced face so numbers line up. Light and dark modes are both there. PREMIUM Free hunters see the area an invader sits in, to within 250 m, and can tap it to list what it holds. Premium unlocks the exact position of every mosaic, and the pins and distances that depend on it. GLOBAL COMMUNITY DATA Benefit from crowdsourced location data maintained by passionate invader enthusiasts worldwide. Help keep the database accurate and up-to-date. Perfect for urban explorers, collectors, and anyone fascinated by Invader's iconic 8-bit mosaics. Whether you're a casual observer or a dedicated hunter, Mapvaders turns your city walks into treasure hunts. Available in English, French, and Spanish.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jinka at 86% against Mapvaders's 27%. Jinka also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (940 vs 4). Mapvaders's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mapvaders sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Jinka asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mapvaders holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jinka has 940 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Jinka's written reviews are positive against 27% of Mapvaders's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jinka ships an update fortnightly, Mapvaders every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
