Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: JennAir at 4.2 against Watts's 3.0. JennAir also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 1). Watts's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (31% vs 11%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

JennAir holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JennAir has 2.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of JennAir's written reviews are positive against 31% of Watts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
