ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NDI HX Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NDI HX Camera has 507 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of TimeCode Generator's written reviews are positive against 11% of NDI HX Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
