ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Duck Log holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Duck Log has 159 ratings behind it against 11, 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 69% of HuntCA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Duck Log ships an update every 6 weeks, HuntCA every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
