Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: NYCPS at Free against General Knowledge Test Prep's $4.99. NYCPS also leads on ratings volume (183 vs 5) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 11 months). General Knowledge Test Prep's advantage is rating (2.8 vs 1.6). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

General Knowledge Test Prep holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NYCPS has 183 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of General Knowledge Test Prep's written reviews are positive against 9% of NYCPS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

General Knowledge Test Prep ships an update every 11 months, NYCPS every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on August 21, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
