Verdict
IU Mobile and Notre Dame Mobile both sit at 3.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Notre Dame Mobile's written reviews are positive against 36% of IU Mobile's. IU Mobile's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (187 vs 21). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
IU Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IU Mobile has 187 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of IU Mobile's written reviews are positive against 67% of Notre Dame Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IU Mobile ships an update monthly, Notre Dame Mobile every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
