ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Outskill holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outskill has 850 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Stellar Return's written reviews are positive against 52% of Outskill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stellar Return ships an update every 2 days, Outskill every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
