ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BuildInstruction holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BuildInstruction has 108 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of BuildInstruction's written reviews are positive against 64% of makerzoid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
