ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ukulele Mini holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UkeLib Chords has 335 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Ukulele Mini's written reviews are positive against 92% of UkeLib Chords's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ukulele Mini ships an update every 18 months, UkeLib Chords monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
