Storm Area 51 Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 853 and 460 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Sandbox 3D's written reviews are positive against 66% of Storm Area 51 Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
