ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wire Color Code holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wire Color Code has 1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Electrical Wiring Pro 2014+'s written reviews are positive against 43% of Wire Color Code'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 2, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
