Learning Ally Audiobooks holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learning Ally Audiobooks has 758 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of K12 Alerts's written reviews are positive against 42% of Learning Ally Audiobooks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
K12 Alerts ships an update every 5 weeks, Learning Ally Audiobooks every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
