ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myMCPS+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myMCPS+ has 4.7K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of myMCPS+'s written reviews are positive against 79% of Pupil | Grades's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

myMCPS+ ships an update fortnightly, Pupil | Grades every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
