ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Coin Stack Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coin Stack Puzzle has 3K ratings behind it against 305, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Squares's written reviews are positive against 29% of Coin Stack Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
