ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Class Planner (cloud) holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Class Planner (cloud) has 53 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Class Planner (cloud)'s written reviews are positive against 75% of AbleSpace's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Class Planner (cloud) ships an update fortnightly, AbleSpace every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
