ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mining Empire holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.2K and 1.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Mining Empire's written reviews are positive against 22% of Construct It 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
