ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Illuminaria holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Illuminaria has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pyro Simulator for iPhone's written reviews are positive against 83% of Illuminaria's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
