Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Track My Trails at none against Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker's shown. Track My Trails also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.6). Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 28). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker has 14K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker's written reviews are positive against 67% of Track My Trails's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker ships an update every 10 days, Track My Trails every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
