ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Running Walking Tracker Goals holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Running Walking Tracker Goals has 107K ratings behind it against 332, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Map My Tracks's written reviews are positive against 77% of Running Walking Tracker Goals's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Map My Tracks ships an update every 5 weeks, Running Walking Tracker Goals monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
