ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pango KABOOM! Stack Cubes holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dr. Panda Restaurant 2 has 399 ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Dr. Panda Restaurant 2's written reviews are positive against 57% of Pango KABOOM! Stack Cubes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
