Keep Screen On holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Keep Screen On has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Mail Folders's written reviews are positive against 40% of Keep Screen On's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
