ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Learn C++ Programming holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn C++ Programming has 373 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Learn C++ Programming's written reviews are positive against 57% of Learn BASIC Programming's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
