Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HBCU DIGITAL at 100% against Fawesome's 43%. HBCU DIGITAL also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Fawesome's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
