ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bar Code Reader ™ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bar Code Reader ™ has 63 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Barcode Reader for iPhone+'s written reviews are positive against 20% of Bar Code Reader ™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
