ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Classkick Student holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BookWidgets has 30 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of BookWidgets's written reviews are positive against 0% of Classkick Student's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BookWidgets ships an update monthly, Classkick Student every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
