ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mobile Print & Smart Printer holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile Print & Smart Printer has 692 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Scanner App's written reviews are positive against 34% of Mobile Print & Smart Printer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Scanner App ships an update every 4 weeks, Mobile Print & Smart Printer monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
