ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CampusGroups holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CampusGroups has 5.3K ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of CampusGroups's written reviews are positive against 47% of Providence College's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CampusGroups ships an update every 3 weeks, Providence College monthly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
