ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Jigsaw Puzzle 500+ holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Maze 3D has 23K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Simple Maze 3D's written reviews are positive against 7% of Jigsaw Puzzle 500+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
