ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Random Name Picker Tools holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random Name Picker Tools has 925 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Pair Randomizer's written reviews are positive against 42% of Random Name Picker Tools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
