Puzzle Chips holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Parallel Math's written reviews are positive against 88% of Puzzle Chips's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
