ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Speedometer mph Odometer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer mph Odometer has 769 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Speedometer mph Odometer's written reviews are positive against 73% of BikeSpeedo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
