ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Q Camera! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Q Camera! has 44 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Q Camera!'s written reviews are positive against 84% of Muon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Q Camera! ships an update weekly, Muon every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
