Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Word Groups holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Groups has 442 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of That Word's written reviews are positive against 0% of Word Groups's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
