Complete Flight holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 50% of TerraExplorer's written reviews are positive against 0% of Complete Flight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TerraExplorer ships an update every 6 months, Complete Flight every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on June 24, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
