ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Magnifier holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magnifier has 316 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Code Rain's written reviews are positive against 0% of Magnifier's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Code Rain ships an update every 3 months, Magnifier monthly. The most recent releases landed on July 8, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
