Riffler Flow holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Riffler Flow has 25 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Stage Looper 2's written reviews are positive against 50% of Riffler Flow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
