Blue Yonder Workforce holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blue Yonder Workforce has 102K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Blue Yonder Workforce's written reviews are positive against 67% of RecogNation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Blue Yonder Workforce ships an update every 3 months, RecogNation monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
