Gladiator Rising holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 535 and 2.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of WorkeMon's written reviews are positive against 65% of Gladiator Rising's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
