ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Disc Drivin' holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Disc Drivin' has 58 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Disc Drivin''s written reviews are positive against 100% of Pong's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
