ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Don't Fall holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.2K and 7.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Don't Fall's written reviews are positive against 67% of PinOut!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
