ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Elevate holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Elevate has 547K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of 9th Grade Vocabulary's written reviews are positive against 59% of Elevate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

9th Grade Vocabulary ships an update every 78 months, Elevate weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
