ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tricky Taps holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tricky Taps has 42K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Vortex Ball Rolling's written reviews are positive against 60% of Tricky Taps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
