Digital Planner for iPad holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Planner for iPad has 2.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of School Calendar by Studyr's written reviews are positive against 44% of Digital Planner for iPad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
School Calendar by Studyr ships an update every 9 days, Digital Planner for iPad every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
