Visit MoCo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visit MoCo has 252 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Visit MoCo's written reviews are positive against 18% of Events DC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Visit MoCo ships an update every 3 months, Events DC monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and August 8, 2026 respectively.
