Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Homework at 5.0 against Talking Typer's 4.0. My Homework also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Talking Typer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
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. My Homework sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Talking Typer asks for nothing beyond the download.
My Homework holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talking Typer has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of My Homework's written reviews are positive against 50% of Talking Typer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Homework ships an update every 7 months, Talking Typer every 11 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
