ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QuickEditor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Editor by Qrayon has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Text Editor by Qrayon's written reviews are positive against 13% of QuickEditor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
