ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Groove Galaxy holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Groove Galaxy has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Groove Galaxy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Drop A Drop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
