ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RoadWarrior Route Planner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RoadWarrior Route Planner has 7.5K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of RoadWarrior Route Planner's written reviews are positive against 67% of Loop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RoadWarrior Route Planner ships an update every 3 weeks, Loop every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
