ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Quick Commodities holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quick Commodities has 506 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Ag PhD Modes of Action's written reviews are positive against 26% of Quick Commodities's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ag PhD Modes of Action ships an update every 7 months, Quick Commodities fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
