NBack for iPad Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: n has 44 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of NBack for iPad Lite's written reviews are positive against 39% of n's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
