ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fire Captain holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fire Captain has 72 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Fire Captain's written reviews are positive against 100% of Wild Road's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
