Verdict
Lonely One and Golf Orbit both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Lonely One's written reviews are positive against 25% of Golf Orbit's. Lonely One also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). Golf Orbit's advantage is ratings volume (59K vs 82) and chart position (#171 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
