ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Barcode Reader & QR Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Barcode Reader & QR Scanner has 149 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Barcode Reader & QR Scanner's written reviews are positive against 100% of QRTiger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Barcode Reader & QR Scanner ships an update every 6 weeks, QRTiger every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
