Durham University Tours holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PurdueGuide has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Durham University Tours's written reviews are positive against 17% of PurdueGuide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Durham University Tours ships an update every 7 months, PurdueGuide every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
