ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

INKBIRD holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: INKBIRD has 7K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of chugod Pro's written reviews are positive against 23% of INKBIRD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
