ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Summuray holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of The Summary Lite's written reviews are positive against 65% of Summuray's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
