Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: OrbiScope at 100% against LiveGlobe's 17%. OrbiScope also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). LiveGlobe's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LiveGlobe holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiveGlobe has 39 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of LiveGlobe's written reviews are positive against 100% of OrbiScope's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LiveGlobe ships an update every 3 weeks, OrbiScope every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
