Stranded Without A Phone! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stranded Without A Phone! has 226 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Stranded Without A Phone!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Alone in a Raft's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
