ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Anthill Art Store 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ant Simulation 3D has 483 ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Ant Simulation 3D's written reviews are positive against 0% of Anthill Art Store 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
