The Bubble Buster holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Bubble Buster has 459 ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Bubbles Popper 2's written reviews are positive against 72% of The Bubble Buster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
