ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gacha Nox holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gacha Nox has 41K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Sonolus's written reviews are positive against 24% of Gacha Nox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
