ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Balmoral Castle holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visit Trinity has 52 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Balmoral Castle's written reviews are positive against 23% of Visit Trinity's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Balmoral Castle ships an update every 8 months, Visit Trinity every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
