ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TrackCC Attendance + holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TrackCC Attendance + has 191 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of TrackCC Attendance +'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Classroom Spy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TrackCC Attendance + ships an update monthly, Classroom Spy every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
