ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OptiFlight holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OptiFlight has 1.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of OptiFlight's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mini Motorways Intro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
