Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 识字宝 at 93% against 小悟空自己读's 57%. 识字宝 also leads on ratings volume (26 vs 3). 小悟空自己读's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

小悟空自己读 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 识字宝 has 26 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of 识字宝's written reviews are positive against 57% of 小悟空自己读's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

识字宝 ships an update every 4 months, 小悟空自己读 monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
