ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Markate holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Markate has 166 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Radius Bomb's written reviews are positive against 54% of Markate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Radius Bomb ships an update every 5 weeks, Markate every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
