ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ChargerSync(legacy) holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SOLARMAN Smart has 5.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of SOLARMAN Smart's written reviews are positive against 11% of ChargerSync(legacy)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
