Harvey's holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Harvey's has 457 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 5% of LCBO's written reviews are positive against 21% of Harvey's's.
