ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

11+ Verbal Reasoning Practise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Shed has 69 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of 11+ Verbal Reasoning Practise'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+ Verbal Reasoning Practise ships an update every 5 weeks, Math Shed every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 19, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
