ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Idle Game 1 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Game 1 has 8.3K ratings behind it against 209, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Pattern Prodigy's written reviews are positive against 62% of Idle Game 1's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
