ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FourKites holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FourKites has 200 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of McLeod 2010's written reviews are positive against 22% of FourKites's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

McLeod 2010 ships an update monthly, FourKites every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 3, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
