ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Windfall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Bud's written reviews are positive against 67% of Windfall's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
