ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

POP (PBCOM Online Platform) holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AUB has 574 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of AUB's written reviews are positive against 23% of POP (PBCOM Online Platform)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AUB ships an update every 3 weeks, POP (PBCOM Online Platform) every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
