ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HKUST Alumni holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 小伴龙识字 has 50 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of HKUST Alumni's written reviews are positive against 67% of 小伴龙识字's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HKUST Alumni ships an update every 3 months, 小伴龙识字 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
