The YB Tracking iPhone/iPad app allows you to follow live race tracking on your mobile - updated to feature everything we track including yacht races, car rallies, adventure racing and more. Information in the race viewer is also controlled by the race organisers - not YB Tracking. For instance, if a race organiser has not provided pictures for the teams, then pictures will not appear in this app or on our web-based viewer. Key features: - See information about the teams in the race - View live leaderboards - Review the map, course and wind info (where available) - Zoom to all teams, leaders, and the course area - Social media feed with news about the race - Replay facility, to allow you to scrub backwards and forwards in time Note: This app requires an internet connection to operate

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: YB Races at 2.9 against GeoRacing's 1.6. YB Races also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (74 vs 7). GeoRacing's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (27% vs 19%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. YB Races sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. GeoRacing asks for nothing beyond the download.
YB Races holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YB Races has 74 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of YB Races's written reviews are positive against 27% of GeoRacing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
YB Races ships an update every 2 months, GeoRacing every 8 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
