CourseLynx holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CourseLynx has 34 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Virtual Traffic Stop's written reviews are positive against 76% of CourseLynx's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Virtual Traffic Stop ships an update every 7 months, CourseLynx every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
