ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dog Scan holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dog Scan has 1.5K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Dog Scan's written reviews are positive against 33% of Bug IdentifierーIdentify Insect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
