ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mad River Local holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mad River Local has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Mad River Local's written reviews are positive against 100% of St Peter School's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 15 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
