ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QuickScan Book Leveler holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QuickScan Book Leveler has 917 ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of School's Out's written reviews are positive against 43% of QuickScan Book Leveler's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
