ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wemo holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wemo has 118K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Wemo's written reviews are positive against 8% of NBG Friendship Lamp Setup's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
