ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ReportIt.com holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReportIt.com has 603 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Mapplet's written reviews are positive against 23% of ReportIt.com's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mapplet ships an update every 5 months, ReportIt.com every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
