ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

brrrrr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: touch grass has 3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of touch grass's written reviews are positive against 0% of brrrrr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
