ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
