ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sound It Out holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: First Grade Learning Games has 51K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of First Grade Learning Games's written reviews are positive against 60% of Sound It Out's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

First Grade Learning Games ships an update monthly, Sound It Out every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
