CJ Speed holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 25 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Car Timer's written reviews are positive against 0% of CJ Speed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
