ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myAIE Student App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: A Needle Pulling Thread has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of A Needle Pulling Thread's written reviews are positive against 43% of myAIE Student App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

A Needle Pulling Thread ships an update every 13 months, myAIE Student App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
