ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

mx tracks holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MX Buddy has 91 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of MX Buddy's written reviews are positive against 60% of mx tracks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MX Buddy ships an update every 2 months, mx tracks every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
