ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Game Maps holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapSkins GPS has 42 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of MapSkins GPS's written reviews are positive against 0% of Game Maps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MapSkins GPS ships an update every 2 weeks, Game Maps weekly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
