ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ever Beyond holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ever Beyond has 32 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Idle Deck Builder's written reviews are positive against 33% of Ever Beyond's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
