ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lingopeel holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of KoreanSSam's written reviews are positive against 67% of Lingopeel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

KoreanSSam ships an update fortnightly, Lingopeel every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
