HQS holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HQS has 90 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of HQS's written reviews are positive against 50% of ExAM4Inspections's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HQS ships an update every 3 months, ExAM4Inspections monthly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
