ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Canada Navigator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Circuit électrique has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Circuit électrique's written reviews are positive against 0% of Canada Navigator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Circuit électrique ships an update every 6 weeks, Canada Navigator every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
