ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hurricane.io holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hurricane.io has 1.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Hurricane.io's written reviews are positive against 50% of Wind Inc's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
