# US Military Rank & Reference vs NAVADMIN Viewer

The clearest difference is rating: NAVADMIN Viewer at 4.6 against US Military Rank & Reference's 3.8. NAVADMIN Viewer also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 29). US Military Rank & Reference's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (42% vs 30%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NAVADMIN Viewer sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per year. US Military Rank & Reference asks for nothing beyond the download.

NAVADMIN Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NAVADMIN Viewer has 1.1K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of US Military Rank & Reference's written reviews are positive against 30% of NAVADMIN Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
