ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

D&D Beyond holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: D&D Beyond has 93K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of D&D Beyond's written reviews are positive against 100% of EdVenture App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

D&D Beyond ships an update every 3 weeks, EdVenture App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
