ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

simpleMIDIController holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MicSwap MultiTrack has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of MicSwap MultiTrack's written reviews are positive against 0% of simpleMIDIController's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
