ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MySantaRosa holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STOPit App has 2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of STOPit App's written reviews are positive against 0% of MySantaRosa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
