ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dippy holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dippy has 2.4K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of smbc random's written reviews are positive against 39% of Dippy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
