ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Teacher Aide (cloud) holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Teacher Aide (cloud) has 48 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ElevateScience K's written reviews are positive against 79% of Teacher Aide (cloud)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ElevateScience K ships an update every 37 months, Teacher Aide (cloud) weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
