The call

RoverCraft Space Racing's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 50%) and ratings volume (3K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HoverCrafts holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RoverCraft Space Racing has 3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of RoverCraft Space Racing's written reviews are positive against 50% of HoverCrafts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
