ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Caldwell Target Camera holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Link has 50 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Digital Link's written reviews are positive against 0% of Caldwell Target Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
