ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smart Home Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of TypeFlow Chinese's written reviews are positive against 80% of Smart Home Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
