Operation Outbreak holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Operation Outbreak has 152 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Operation Outbreak's written reviews are positive against 100% of myAndrewsU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Operation Outbreak ships an update every 5 weeks, myAndrewsU every 23 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
