ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

A+ World Map Editor Sandbox holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: A+ World Map Editor Sandbox has 1.6K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Travlink!'s written reviews are positive against 74% of A+ World Map Editor Sandbox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Travlink! ships an update every 3 months, A+ World Map Editor Sandbox every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
