ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

School Dog holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ah! Cutie has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of School Dog's written reviews are positive against 91% of Ah! Cutie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

School Dog ships an update weekly, Ah! Cutie every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
