ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pofi Create holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pofi Create has 408 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of MagicalDraw's written reviews are positive against 22% of Pofi Create's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MagicalDraw ships an update monthly, Pofi Create every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
