ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Radius Map holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radius Map has 469 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Radius Map's written reviews are positive against 59% of Radius on Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Radius Map ships an update every 14 months, Radius on Map every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 29, 2026 respectively.
