ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Quiet Christmas holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quiet Christmas has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Quiet Christmas's written reviews are positive against 100% of M.A.D. Cows's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
