ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Braille Decoded holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Braille Decoded has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Braille Learning!'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Braille Decoded's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Braille Learning! ships an update every 3 months, Braille Decoded every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and July 19, 2026 respectively.
