Warbits Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 577 and 168 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Jelly Defense's written reviews are positive against 79% of Warbits Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
