ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CampusGroups holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CampusGroups has 5.3K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of CampusGroups's written reviews are positive against 80% of Pepperdine University'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, Pepperdine University every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
