Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flashpoint R2 holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flashpoint R2 has 35 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Flashpoint R2's written reviews are positive against 71% of Honcho's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
