Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SmartFind Express holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartFind Express has 15K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Colonel David Marcus School's written reviews are positive against 19% of SmartFind Express's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Colonel David Marcus School ships an update monthly, SmartFind Express every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
