ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stepik holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stepik has 913 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Stepik's written reviews are positive against 71% of Скороговорун's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stepik ships an update weekly, Скороговорун every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
