ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Missing Pets holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Missing Pets has 927 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Missing Pets's written reviews are positive against 50% of Missing Stuff's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
