ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pickleball Round Robin Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pickleball Round Robin Maker has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Pickleball Round Robin Maker's written reviews are positive against 100% of PickleScores's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
