ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Waymarkly holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Waymarkly has 137 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Geocaching Tools Kit's written reviews are positive against 81% of Waymarkly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Geocaching Tools Kit ships an update every 2 months, Waymarkly every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
