Max Tracker Hurricane WPLG holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Max Tracker Hurricane WPLG has 75K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Max Tracker Hurricane WPLG's written reviews are positive against 100% of ReadyMDC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Max Tracker Hurricane WPLG ships an update every 6 weeks, ReadyMDC every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
