Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FOODING® at none against Menu Translator App's 5. FOODING® also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (320 vs 12). Menu Translator App's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FOODING® holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FOODING® has 320 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of FOODING®'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Menu Translator App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FOODING® ships an update every 2 months, Menu Translator App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
