ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Inkdrop holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inkdrop has 44 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Inkdrop's written reviews are positive against 67% of Markdown Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
