ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Snapverter holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snapverter has 41 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of F&P BAS Reading Record Apps's written reviews are positive against 0% of Snapverter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
