ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Minga holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minga has 7.8K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Minga's written reviews are positive against 50% of Washington Local Schools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Minga ships an update every 3 weeks, Washington Local Schools every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
