ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NetScan holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetScan has 98 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of NetScan's written reviews are positive against 67% of Simple Port Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
