ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WordBoard holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordBoard has 5.6K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of WordBoard's written reviews are positive against 80% of Clipboard Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WordBoard ships an update every 3 weeks, Clipboard Keyboard every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
