ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Snippety holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snippety has 72 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Snippety's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bobs, behavior observation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
