ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

11+ English Practice Papers holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Shed has 70 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of 11+ English Practice Papers's written reviews are positive against 64% of Math Shed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

11+ English Practice Papers ships an update monthly, Math Shed every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
