ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mr. Traffic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mr. Traffic has 2.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Mr. Traffic's written reviews are positive against 100% of Matter AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mr. Traffic ships an update every 3 weeks, Matter AR monthly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
