ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LiveKid holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiveKid has 92 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of KinderClose Familiar's written reviews are positive against 41% of LiveKid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

KinderClose Familiar ships an update every 3 months, LiveKid every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
