Belfast Bus Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Value Cabs has 90 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Value Cabs's written reviews are positive against 50% of Belfast Bus Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Value Cabs ships an update every 6 weeks, Belfast Bus Tracker every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
