ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Agility Coach holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gate Steward has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Agility Coach's written reviews are positive against 100% of Gate Steward's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Agility Coach ships an update every 5 months, Gate Steward every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
