ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sentence Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sentence Maker has 142 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Sentence Maker's written reviews are positive against 100% of SENTENCE READING MAGIC 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sentence Maker ships an update every 13 months, SENTENCE READING MAGIC 2 every 69 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
