ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Possession Basic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Soccer Simple Stats Tracker has 46 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Possession Basic's written reviews are positive against 97% of Soccer Simple Stats Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Possession Basic ships an update every 3 months, Soccer Simple Stats Tracker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 14, 2026 respectively.
