ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Airport Tycoon holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Airport Tycoon has 184 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Airport's written reviews are positive against 38% of Airport Tycoon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
