Naughty or Nice Test holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Naughty or Nice Test has 90 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Santa Scan™'s written reviews are positive against 86% of Naughty or Nice Test's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
