ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Backpack Viking holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backpack Viking has 338 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Survivor Master's written reviews are positive against 15% of Backpack Viking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Survivor Master ships an update every 10 days, Backpack Viking weekly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
