Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: R at 3.0 against QCPR's 2.6. R also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). QCPR's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%) and ratings volume (29 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

R holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QCPR has 29 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of QCPR's written reviews are positive against 0% of R's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

QCPR ships an update every 2 months, R every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
