ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mindlist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mindlist has 1.6K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Mindlist's written reviews are positive against 80% of PlanIt Homework App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
