CheckPlease! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of CheckPlease!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Bill Panda's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
