The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

McGraw Hill Must Know holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: McGraw Hill Must Know has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Physics Master's written reviews are positive against 25% of McGraw Hill Must Know's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Physics Master ships an update every 6 weeks, McGraw Hill Must Know every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
