ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Uplock holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Uplock has 113 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Uplock's written reviews are positive against 100% of Canoe CatchApp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
