ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Guildmaster Idle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guildmaster Idle has 538 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Wood Tycoon's written reviews are positive against 75% of Guildmaster Idle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
