ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ForumEA Events holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CSWE APM has 152 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of CSWE APM's written reviews are positive against 0% of ForumEA Events's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CSWE APM ships an update every 12 months, ForumEA Events every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
