ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iHome Print holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lifeprint Printers has 611 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Lifeprint Printers's written reviews are positive against 0% of iHome Print's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lifeprint Printers ships an update every 3 months, iHome Print every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
