ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MileagePlus X holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MileagePlus X has 21K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of MileagePlus X's written reviews are positive against 47% of Stranger Things to Do Seattle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MileagePlus X ships an update monthly, Stranger Things to Do Seattle every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
