ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PDF Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Hero has 10K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Screenshot Editor's written reviews are positive against 18% of PDF Hero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
