ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spell Craft Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STONE has 481 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of STONE's written reviews are positive against 50% of Spell Craft Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
