ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myBloomington holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SherMatch+ has 6.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of myBloomington's written reviews are positive against 26% of SherMatch+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

myBloomington ships an update every 3 months, SherMatch+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
