ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PrintHand Mobile Print holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PrintHand Mobile Print has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of PrintHand Mobile Print's written reviews are positive against 81% of Printer 2 Go's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PrintHand Mobile Print ships an update every 4 weeks, Printer 2 Go every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
