ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

설쌤 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of READING &'s written reviews are positive against 69% of 설쌤's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

READING & ships an update every 2 weeks, 설쌤 every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
