Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Nautide at 4.8 against HobartWinds's 1.0. Nautide also leads on ratings volume (3.4K vs 1) and chart position (#60 vs unranked). HobartWinds's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nautide holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nautide has 3.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of HobartWinds's written reviews are positive against 67% of Nautide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
