# Dash vs Widgets for Garmin

The clearest difference is rating: Widgets for Garmin at 4.2 against Dash's 3.4. Widgets for Garmin also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0).

Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Dash's written reviews are positive against 50% of Widgets for Garmin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
