ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Alabama Bones holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 70 and 55 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Alabama Bones's written reviews are positive against 80% of Shadow Frog's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
