ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QR scanner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Scanner has 98 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of QR scanner's written reviews are positive against 43% of QR Code Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
