ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TCG Value Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TCG Value Scanner has 1.1K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of PokeScan's written reviews are positive against 27% of TCG Value Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
