ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Switchy Sides holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 23 and 61 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Circlify's written reviews are positive against 61% of Switchy Sides's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
