ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Knack holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Knack has 2.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Knack's written reviews are positive against 100% of Aethron Study's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
