ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tape Measure & Ruler Арр holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Pro Map Tools's written reviews are positive against 27% of Tape Measure & Ruler Арр's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
