ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Balls go High holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Balls go High has 33K ratings behind it against 315, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Stickman Hook 2's written reviews are positive against 32% of Balls go High's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
