ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

First Words Learning holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: First Words Learning has 283 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Baby Rattle Plus's written reviews are positive against 43% of First Words Learning's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Baby Rattle Plus ships an update every 13 months, First Words Learning monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
