ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Savvy Navvy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Savvy Navvy has 8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of PredictWind Race Tracker's written reviews are positive against 53% of Savvy Navvy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PredictWind Race Tracker ships an update every 6 weeks, Savvy Navvy weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
