ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Viking Line holds the better App Store score, 1.9 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Föli's written reviews are positive against 13% of Viking Line's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Föli ships an update every 3 months, Viking Line every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
