ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Coding for kids holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coding for kids has 4.4K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of NetSupport Tutor Assistant's written reviews are positive against 33% of Coding for kids's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NetSupport Tutor Assistant ships an update every 5 months, Coding for kids every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
