ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dropcaps holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dropcaps has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Dropcaps's written reviews are positive against 100% of Zero Orders Tactics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
