ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

unscroll holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: unscroll has 133 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Unscroll's written reviews are positive against 0% of unscroll's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
