The Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 30 and 73 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Simple Multiple Counter's written reviews are positive against 43% of The Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
