Backgammon Classic Board Live holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.6.

Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Backgammon Classic Board Live's written reviews are positive against 46% of Dr. Reversi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
