ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

POP holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Code! Learn Swift Version has 6.7K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of POP's written reviews are positive against 87% of Code! Learn Swift Version's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

POP ships an update monthly, Code! Learn Swift Version every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
