ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WiFi QR Code Generator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visual Codes has 267 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Visual Codes's written reviews are positive against 0% of WiFi QR Code Generator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Visual Codes ships an update every 2 months, WiFi QR Code Generator every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
