ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mobile SCD Cribs holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TAMUGConnect has 162 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of TAMUGConnect's written reviews are positive against 60% of Mobile SCD Cribs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TAMUGConnect ships an update every 6 weeks, Mobile SCD Cribs every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
