BlindBuddy reads the morning before you leave the truck. THE READ Every blind you save gets one score built from the conditions that actually move birds: wind speed and direction against your blind's facing, front timing, pressure trend, temperature swing, moon, and migration traffic. Tap the score and it decomposes. Every factor shows its number and its pull on the total. And when something was not measured that morning, the app says so instead of faking it. THREE DAY MATRIX Dawn and evening windows for the next three days, scored per blind. Pick the morning worth burning a vacation day on before the front gets here. THE LIVING MAP Scout mode surfaces hot areas computed from live bird sighting traffic and public hunting ground, anywhere in the country. Drop a pin, vet the spot against wind history and sightings, save it. My Ground keeps your blinds, pins, and field notes in one place. BAND HISTORY 3.1 million real USGS band recovery records on a map. See what was banded near your spots, where those birds came from, and how far they traveled. Sixty plus years of recoveries, not a sample. TIDES NOAA tide stations with the day's curve, in the station's own time zone. For the coastal crowd that hunts the moving water. SCOUTBUMP Pre-season scoring for new ground. Point your blind, set the wind you expect, and see how the spot grades before opening day. YOUR LOG Log hunts, birds, and bands. Season stats and personal bests are kept and counted, season over season. BUILT FOR EVERY FLYWAY Pacific, Central, Mississippi, Atlantic. Nothing in the app is hardcoded to one state.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Duck Log at 4.6 against BlindBuddy's 4.2. My Duck Log also leads on ratings volume (192 vs 6). BlindBuddy's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (67% vs 46%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Duck Log sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and BlindBuddy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $89.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
My Duck Log holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Duck Log has 192 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of My Duck Log's written reviews are positive against 67% of BlindBuddy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Duck Log ships an update every 6 weeks, BlindBuddy every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
