heylink Audio holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: heylink Audio has 626 ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 2% of heylink Audio's written reviews are positive against 5% of Joy Audio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
