Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Dodge Arrow! at Free against Dig Deep!'s $2.99. Dodge Arrow! also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Dig Deep!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
