ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Things to Learn holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Things to Learn has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Things to Learn's written reviews are positive against 100% of TechSafe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Things to Learn ships an update every 8 months, TechSafe every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
