SMTOWN | OFFICIAL holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SMTOWN | OFFICIAL has 80 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of SMTOWN | OFFICIAL's written reviews are positive against 100% of SM GLOBAL PACKAGE APPLICATION's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SMTOWN | OFFICIAL ships an update monthly, SM GLOBAL PACKAGE APPLICATION every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
