On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.9 for Genesis against 3.8 for TST Tree. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Genesis has 281 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 58% of Genesis's written reviews are positive against 60% of TST Tree's.
