Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Space Shuttle AR at 4.7 against Alien Flying UFO Simulator's 3.4. Space Shuttle AR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 13). Alien Flying UFO Simulator's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Space Shuttle AR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Shuttle AR has 1.2K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Space Shuttle AR's written reviews are positive against 100% of Alien Flying UFO Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
