ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Brady Express Labels holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brady Express Labels has 419 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Brady Express Labels's written reviews are positive against 75% of Prometheus Mobile for Maximo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Brady Express Labels ships an update every 2 months, Prometheus Mobile for Maximo every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
