ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MusicReader holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of MusicReader's written reviews are positive against 67% of MusicSheet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
