ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Microsoft Surface holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Surface has 159 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Microsoft Surface's written reviews are positive against 67% of Screen Share for Samsung IWB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
