# Half Marathon 13.1 Trainer vs Run Mapper

Half Marathon 13.1 Trainer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3.

Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Half Marathon 13.1 Trainer's written reviews are positive against 67% of Run Mapper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
