Read full description

The violin, sometimes known as a fiddle, is a wooden string instrument in the violin family. Most violins have a hollow wooden body. It is the smallest and highest-pitched instrument in the family in regular use. Smaller violin-type instruments exist, including the violino piccolo and the kit violin, but these are virtually unused. The violin typically has four strings tuned in perfect fifths, and is most commonly played by drawing a bow across its strings, though it can also be played by plucking the strings with the fingers (pizzicato) and by striking the strings with the wooden side of the bow (col legno). Violins are important instruments in a wide variety of musical genres. They are most prominent in the Western classical tradition, both in ensembles (from chamber music to orchestras) and as solo instruments and in many varieties of folk music, including country music, bluegrass music and in jazz. Electric violins with solid bodies and piezoelectric pickups are used in some forms of rock music and jazz fusion, with the pickups plugged into instrument amplifiers and speakers to produce sound. Further, the violin has come to be played in many non-Western music cultures, including Indian music and Iranian music. The name fiddle is often used regardless of the type of music played on it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Violin Real at none against Theme Park Simulator's 11. Violin Real also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and chart position (#117 vs unranked). Theme Park Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). On price, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Violin Real holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.6K and 732 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Theme Park Simulator's written reviews are positive against 67% of Violin Real's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
