Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: schoolOn at 4.2 against Go Outdoors SD's 1.9. schoolOn also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Go Outdoors SD's advantage is ratings volume (266 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
schoolOn holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Go Outdoors SD has 266 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of Go Outdoors SD's written reviews are positive against 0% of schoolOn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Go Outdoors SD ships an update every 3 months, schoolOn fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
