ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Easy as ABC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Light Cross has 51 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Light Cross's written reviews are positive against 75% of Easy as ABC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
