# EWA vs Learning English

The clearest difference is ratings volume: EWA at 196K against Learning English's 202. EWA also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#102 vs unranked). Learning English's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EWA sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Learning English sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EWA holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EWA has 196K ratings behind it against 202, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of EWA's written reviews are positive against 82% of Learning English's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EWA ships an update weekly, Learning English every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
