ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flowchart Designer 5 holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flowchart Designer 5 has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Flowchart Designer 5's written reviews are positive against 50% of MapCrafter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
