**Run your season, together.** Most hunting apps give you a map and call it a day. Ember runs your whole season — where your crew is hunting, whether everyone made it home, and where your best odds are tonight. Solo, family, or a 30-member club across four properties: built for how you actually hunt. **Group & Club Management** No more group texts that never end. Members, properties, stands, rules, and tasks in one place. Assign stands, track harvests, and keep the crew on the same page. One club purchase can cover the roster so members are not buying their own apps. **Safety Check-Ins & SOS** Your people shouldn't have to wonder if you're okay. Ember tells them you're safe — and alerts them if you're overdue. Out of service? It fires the moment you reconnect. Need help now? SOS is on the map: one tap to call 911, or hold to alert your crew. *(Check-in and SOS are convenience tools, not a replacement for 911 or a personal locator beacon, and depend on cellular connectivity. 911 is a native phone call.)* **Know Why a Stand Is Good — Not Just That It Is** Breakdown weighs wind, weather, terrain, and pressure to score your stands — and shows the reasons for and against each one, tonight, on your ground. Scout Spot lets you aim the crosshair anywhere and preview a score before you drop a pin. New to hunting? It teaches you to read the woods, not just follow a number. **Maps You Can Hunt On — Including Offline** Download map regions and keep elevation, cover, property lines, and pins with zero bars. Draw named trails, add photos, and control who sees them. Switching apps? Import markers and boundaries (GPX/KML, including onX Hunt exports) so you are not starting over. **Journal, Pressure & Best Days** Log sightings, harvests, and sits. Track pressure so you know when a stand needs to rest. Home now leads with your stats, today's conditions, and Best Days Ahead. Every check-in and sighting sharpens the picture for the whole club. **Instant Deer & Animal Scoring** Snap a photo for a score estimate — no tape, no waiting. Harvest, sighting, and target-animal photos can score automatically. **Hunt on your terms.** Start free. Go Annual, buy a Season Pass that ends when the season does (nothing renews), or cover the club with one purchase. We'll never start charging you for something that used to be free. Ember is for the solo hunter who wants every edge, the family that hunts together, and the club tired of running the season out of a group chat. --- I'm a new hunter building Ember for my own first season — the tool I want when I'm staring at maps, weather apps, and advice that never tells me *why*. One place to learn the woods, hunt smarter, and make sure everyone gets home. **Subscription details** Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HuntrMap at every 2 days against Ember Hunt's every 4 days. Ember Hunt's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. HuntrMap sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Ember Hunt sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $99.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for HuntrMap against 5.0 for Ember Hunt. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ember Hunt has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
HuntrMap ships an update every 2 days, Ember Hunt every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
