ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Explain Everything Whiteboard holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Explain Everything Whiteboard has 8.9K ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Explain Everything Whiteboard's written reviews are positive against 55% of GeoGebra Geometry's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Explain Everything Whiteboard ships an update fortnightly, GeoGebra Geometry monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
