Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: MVV at 844 against FlyNet's 1. MVV also leads on review sentiment (29% vs 10%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). FlyNet's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FlyNet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MVV has 844 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of MVV's written reviews are positive against 10% of FlyNet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MVV ships an update every 6 weeks, FlyNet every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 22, 2026 respectively.
