ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CERN Campus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mathpix Snip has 141 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Mathpix Snip's written reviews are positive against 50% of CERN Campus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mathpix Snip ships an update every 5 weeks, CERN Campus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
