DU CrimsonConnect holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DU CrimsonConnect has 118 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of IUP Mobile's written reviews are positive against 25% of DU CrimsonConnect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IUP Mobile ships an update every 18 months, DU CrimsonConnect every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
