ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Picasso App Screenshot Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Picasso App Screenshot Studio has 47 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Picasso App Screenshot Studio's written reviews are positive against 100% of AppJournal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Picasso App Screenshot Studio ships an update fortnightly, AppJournal every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
