Provoke Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RNI Colibri has 70 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Provoke Camera's written reviews are positive against 73% of RNI Colibri's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
