ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

mTracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Zazen Meditation Timer has 22 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Simple Zazen Meditation Timer's written reviews are positive against 50% of mTracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
