The call

The clearest difference is rating: First Grade Kid Learning Games at 5.0 against TeachMe's 3.8. First Grade Kid Learning Games also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). TeachMe's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 40%) and ratings volume (42 vs 1). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

First Grade Kid Learning Games holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TeachMe has 42 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of TeachMe's written reviews are positive against 40% of First Grade Kid Learning Games'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 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
