Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MapGenie at Free against FFTA2 Game Guide's $1.99. MapGenie also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (157 vs 1). FFTA2 Game Guide's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (67% vs 43%). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MapGenie holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 157 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of FFTA2 Game Guide's written reviews are positive against 43% of MapGenie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FFTA2 Game Guide ships an update every 11 months, MapGenie every 17 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
