ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OBD2 Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OBD2 Scanner has 1.1K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of 手机控车C30's written reviews are positive against 23% of OBD2 Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
