ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stack the States® 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stack the States® 2 has 1.1K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of PopGeo USA Geography's written reviews are positive against 86% of Stack the States® 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PopGeo USA Geography ships an update every 19 months, Stack the States® 2 every 9 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
