ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Madrid Transport holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Madrid Transport has 146 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Madrid Transport's written reviews are positive against 71% of TRIBBU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Madrid Transport ships an update every 5 weeks, TRIBBU weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
