ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HTML Creator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTML Creator has 52 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of HTML Editor®'s written reviews are positive against 98% of HTML Creator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
