ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Par 72 Golf IV holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Par 72 Golf IV has 22 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Par 72 Golf IV's written reviews are positive against 33% of Golf Simulator 2017's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
