The Impossible Safe holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Impossible Safe has 175 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Pop My Lock's written reviews are positive against 34% of The Impossible Safe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
