ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smart Printer Print and Scan holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Printer Print and Scan has 58 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Printer's written reviews are positive against 83% of Smart Printer Print and Scan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Printer ships an update every 3 weeks, Smart Printer Print and Scan fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
