Carrier Landings holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10K and 7.9K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Carrier Landings's written reviews are positive against 69% of Apache Pilot Flight Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
