ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scottie Go! Edu holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Puppet Pals has 52 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Puppet Pals's written reviews are positive against 10% of Scottie Go! Edu's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Puppet Pals ships an update every 6 months, Scottie Go! Edu every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
