Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. myETraining sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. PC8DAm asks for nothing beyond the download.
PC8DAm holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myETraining has 504 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of myETraining's written reviews are positive against 0% of PC8DAm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 8, 2026 respectively.
