ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CAD Drawing Designer 3D holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CAD Drawing Designer 3D has 44 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of CAD Drawing Designer 3D's written reviews are positive against 100% of DrawPlan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
