ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SMART Educator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ophthalmology & Optometry has 120 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of SMART Educator's written reviews are positive against 61% of Ophthalmology & Optometry's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SMART Educator ships an update every 2 months, Ophthalmology & Optometry every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
