ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Billiards 3D holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.6.

Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Virtual Pool 4's written reviews are positive against 40% of Billiards 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
