# PrinterShare vs Print Utility V3W

PrinterShare holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.6.

Written reviews complicate that: 44% of PrinterShare's written reviews are positive against 50% of Print Utility V3W's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
