Verdict

The call

Screen Recorder and ADV Screen Recorder both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of ADV Screen Recorder's written reviews are positive against 30% of Screen Recorder's. ADV Screen Recorder also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Screen Recorder's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (35K vs 20). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Screen Recorder holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Recorder has 35K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Screen Recorder's written reviews are positive against 100% of ADV Screen Recorder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
