Verdict

The call

Watch OWN and AmpliPhy Radio both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of AmpliPhy Radio's written reviews are positive against 47% of Watch OWN's. AmpliPhy Radio also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Watch OWN's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (41K vs 6). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
