Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: My UND at Free against Prepware Private Pilot's $9.99. My UND also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.8). Prepware Private Pilot's advantage is ratings volume (139 vs 8) and chart position (#16 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My UND holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prepware Private Pilot has 139 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Prepware Private Pilot's written reviews are positive against 50% of My UND's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Prepware Private Pilot ships an update every 4 months, My UND every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
