ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

eScanner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 20 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of eScanner's written reviews are positive against 100% of Barcode Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
