ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Doodle Book holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1.

Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Talking ABC lite's written reviews are positive against 0% of Doodle Book's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Talking ABC lite ships an update every 2 months, Doodle Book every 118 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
