ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Random name & list generator holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RandomName has 118 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of RandomName's written reviews are positive against 0% of Random name & list generator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RandomName ships an update every 6 weeks, Random name & list generator every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
