ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Document Manager for iPad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Document Manager for iPad's written reviews are positive against 48% of RarExtractor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
