Useless box simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Earth Editor has 919 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Earth Editor's written reviews are positive against 50% of Useless box simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
