ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Study Time With Rain holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Study Time With Rain has 788 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of CityNav's written reviews are positive against 91% of Study Time With Rain's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CityNav ships an update every 12 months, Study Time With Rain every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
