ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iStudent App holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: itslearning mobile has 3.5K ratings behind it against 116, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of itslearning mobile's written reviews are positive against 25% of iStudent App'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 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
