ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BC4000 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BC4000 has 287 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of BC4000's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sys Admin Sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
