The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Connections Game! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Connections Game! has 13K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Cartoonacy's written reviews are positive against 30% of Connections Game!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
