Verdict

The call

CityGolf and SmoothSwing both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of CityGolf's written reviews are positive against 50% of SmoothSwing's. CityGolf also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). SmoothSwing's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
