Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Back To School at 4.3 against Glow Draw.'s 3.4. Back To School also leads on ratings volume (662 vs 52). Glow Draw.'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 15 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Back To School holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Back To School has 662 ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Glow Draw.'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Back To School's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Glow Draw. ships an update every 4 months, Back To School every 15 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
