ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CTCAE 5 Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CTCAE 5 Pro has 41 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ESMO Events App's written reviews are positive against 0% of CTCAE 5 Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ESMO Events App ships an update every 3 weeks, CTCAE 5 Pro every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
