Walla Walla Valley Transit and BFT CONNECT both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Walla Walla Valley Transit's written reviews are positive against 38% of BFT CONNECT's. Walla Walla Valley Transit also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0).

BFT CONNECT holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2.

Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Walla Walla Valley Transit's written reviews are positive against 38% of BFT CONNECT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
