HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (50 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Latest reviews, United States Google Play.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

I'm sending orca routes to axiom 9plus but I don't get that message that says do you want to follow the route that orca sent? And the additional problem is I only receive multiple waypoints on my map on the chart plotter.

★★★★★Oct 3, 2026

Massive improvements in recent versions. If only you could edit the routes and rationalise the excessive number of waypoints, then it would be even better.

★★★★★Sep 29, 2026

the image is tilting
