.mixtape holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of .mixtape's written reviews are positive against 33% of vapor8's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
