Flarts and Downhill Smash both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 61% of Flarts's written reviews are positive against 41% of Downhill Smash's. Downhill Smash's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (22K vs 3.9K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
