ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

聰明學習 WORD UP holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 聰明學習 WORD UP has 168 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of WordBranch 字中字 + 字首字根's written reviews are positive against 87% of 聰明學習 WORD UP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
