ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dynamix Universe holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 24 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of ELLIA's written reviews are positive against 63% of Dynamix Universe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
