Verdict

The call

Electrical Wiring Pro 2017 and Conduit Bending both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Electrical Wiring Pro 2017's written reviews are positive against 35% of Conduit Bending's. Electrical Wiring Pro 2017 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). Conduit Bending's advantage is ratings volume (657 vs 33). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Conduit Bending holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Conduit Bending has 657 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Electrical Wiring Pro 2017's written reviews are positive against 35% of Conduit Bending's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
