ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Matches Craft holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Matches Craft has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Matches Craft's written reviews are positive against 100% of SpiralGear's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
