ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scritchy Scratchy holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5.

Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Idle Chest's written reviews are positive against 74% of Scritchy Scratchy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
