ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Marks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Explain Everything Whiteboard has 8.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of My Marks's written reviews are positive against 48% of Explain Everything Whiteboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Marks ships an update every 13 months, Explain Everything Whiteboard fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 14, 2026 respectively.
