ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CivIdle holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Civitas's written reviews are positive against 80% of CivIdle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
