# READING MAGIC vs Learn Patterns

The clearest difference is rating: READING MAGIC at 4.6 against Learn Patterns's 4.1. READING MAGIC also leads on ratings volume (42 vs 12). Learn Patterns's advantage is iOS requirement (6.1 vs 13.7). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. READING MAGIC sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Learn Patterns sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

READING MAGIC holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 42 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of READING MAGIC's written reviews are positive against 70% of Learn Patterns's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
