ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GCSE Maths holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of GCSE Maths's written reviews are positive against 41% of Science Makes Sense's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GCSE Maths ships an update every 6 weeks, Science Makes Sense every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
