ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Arkham Cards holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arkham Cards has 242 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Arkham Cards's written reviews are positive against 100% of d’Arkham's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
