ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

YT Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PiP4YouTube has 26 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of PiP4YouTube's written reviews are positive against 25% of YT Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
