Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Morse Code Reader and Decoder at 4.4 against Rdio Scanner's 3.3. Morse Code Reader and Decoder also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 84). Rdio Scanner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (44% vs 30%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Morse Code Reader and Decoder holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Morse Code Reader and Decoder has 2.4K ratings behind it against 84, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Morse Code Reader and Decoder's written reviews are positive against 44% of Rdio Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Morse Code Reader and Decoder ships an update every 2 months, Rdio Scanner monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
