McGraw Hill Must Know holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of McGraw Hill Must Know's written reviews are positive against 75% of DK Bilingual Visual Dictionary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
