NYC Violations holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NYC Secure has 93 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of NYC Secure's written reviews are positive against 0% of NYC Violations's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
