Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: CampusGroups at 4.4 against MyJaxState Mobile's 3.0. CampusGroups also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 5). MyJaxState Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (42% vs 12%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CampusGroups holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CampusGroups has 5.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of CampusGroups's written reviews are positive against 42% of MyJaxState Mobile'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, MyJaxState Mobile every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
