ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Luna Controller holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Luna Controller has 7.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Luna Controller's written reviews are positive against 40% of Ravensburger Professor kNOW!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
