ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

i holds the better App Store score, 1.8 against 1.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 20 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of NUUO iViewer's written reviews are positive against 20% of i's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
