Mapple is a daily puzzle about the world. Each morning, one country is the answer. You guess any country. We tell you if your guess is warmer or colder than the last one. You keep guessing until you find it. That's the whole game. Each day: — One puzzle, one answer, unlimited guesses — A heat gradient guides each guess. Red means close, blue means far. — Win once and stamp it in your passport. Share the emoji grid wherever. What makes Mapple different: — No ads. Not now, not later. — No subscription. No login. No account. — Nothing leaves your phone. The map and every country lives on-device. Mapple has no analytics and no server to send anything to. Mapple+ ($3.99, one-time): — Replay every past puzzle since launch. The archive grows by one every day. — Unlimited hints. Reveal the continent, the first letter, or the closest country. — Hard mode. Hide the distance and direction, and guess on the heat alone. — No ads, ever. No subscription. Buy once, keep forever. Mapple is made by Brooke Builds Stuff — a small portfolio of careful iOS apps.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GeoG at none against Mapple's 2. GeoG also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Mapple's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price and review sentiment there is nothing between them.
