ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Parceled Land Map holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Parceled Land Map has 1.2K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Metes and Bounds Basic's written reviews are positive against 71% of Parceled Land Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Metes and Bounds Basic ships an update every 3 months, Parceled Land Map every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
