ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Formed holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Formed has 14K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 99% of Formed's written reviews are positive against 100% of St. Joseph Catholic Maumee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Formed ships an update every 2 months, St. Joseph Catholic Maumee every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
