ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FAMILIES | TalkingPoints holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FAMILIES | TalkingPoints has 92K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of FAMILIES | TalkingPoints's written reviews are positive against 50% of KRK Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
