Since lockdown, there has been a huge growth in the number of people getting into camping, the outdoors and enjoying an off-grid lifestyle. More and more, as a society we want to get away. Away from the relentlessness of a working life that has increasingly invaded our homes; away from the tyranny of always-on electronics and ever-watchful social media; away from the pressure to be busy, to be productive, to be available. When your every waking hour is spent feeling hunted, just disappearing into the countryside for the weekend is a blessed relief. And if youβre in a 4x4, you can disappear further away and deeper into it. Overlander 4x4 reflects Britainβs new-found interest in an outdoor lifestyle. Weβre not a magazine about camping, but a magazine about the sort of adventures that involve it. Primarily, we focus on overlanding β showcasing both trip-of-a-lifetime expeditions as well as adventures that are more modest and, for most of us, more attainable.Β As always with anything four-wheel drive, itβs going to be a journey worth making, so join us for the adventure. ---------------------------------------------- This is a free app download.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OVR Adventures at none against Overlander 4x4's 10. OVR Adventures also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 14 months) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). Overlander 4x4's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
