ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Explain Everything Whiteboard holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Explain Everything Whiteboard has 8.8K ratings behind it against 5, 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 64% of GoodGeometry'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 every 2 weeks, GoodGeometry every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
