ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Comptia A+ Prep holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Comptia A+ Prep has 83 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Comptia A+ Prep's written reviews are positive against 50% of A+ 220's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
