ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SMART Educator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shareable Forms has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Shareable Forms's written reviews are positive against 0% of SMART Educator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
