ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

New Caney ISD holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skyward Mobile Access has 3.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Skyward Mobile Access's written reviews are positive against 0% of New Caney ISD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
