ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Chess TD 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chess TD 2 has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Chess TD 2's written reviews are positive against 69% of TLC M's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
