ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Visual Acuity Test on App! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eye Recovery Training has 386 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Visual Acuity Test on App!'s written reviews are positive against 71% of Eye Recovery Training's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Visual Acuity Test on App! ships an update every 23 months, Eye Recovery Training every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
