ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Aladdin Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aladdin Connect has 114K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Aladdin Connect's written reviews are positive against 75% of KB Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Aladdin Connect ships an update every 3 months, KB Home every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
