ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

New Text Tones holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5.4K and 5K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of New Text Tones's written reviews are positive against 57% of Ringtone Garage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
