ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PushFit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PushFit has 2.3K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of PushFit'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.
