ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Doyle Collection holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GHA DISCOVERY has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of GHA DISCOVERY's written reviews are positive against 0% of The Doyle Collection's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GHA DISCOVERY ships an update every 5 weeks, The Doyle Collection every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
