Toptracer Range holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 33K and 13K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Arccos Golf's written reviews are positive against 36% of Toptracer Range's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
