ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Neon N Balls holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Neon N Balls has 372 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of A Swing Monkey's written reviews are positive against 39% of Neon N Balls's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
