ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Thunkable Live holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thunkable Live has 324 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Lecture Racing. Student's written reviews are positive against 54% of Thunkable Live's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lecture Racing. Student ships an update every 2 months, Thunkable Live weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
