ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shippity holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shippity has 1.8K ratings behind it against 127, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Shippity's written reviews are positive against 71% of Barcode Reader & QR Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shippity ships an update every 2 months, Barcode Reader & QR Scanner every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
