ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CSVReader holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CSVReader has 117 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of CSVReader's written reviews are positive against 100% of Fast CSV Editor & Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
