ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ticket to Ride® holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ticket to Ride® has 12K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of MIND MGMT Assistant's written reviews are positive against 30% of Ticket to Ride®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MIND MGMT Assistant ships an update every 9 months, Ticket to Ride® monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
