Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ZY Play at 2.4 against Hohem GimSet's 2.0. ZY Play also leads on ratings volume (661 vs 26). Hohem GimSet's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 10.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ZY Play holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZY Play has 661 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of ZY Play's written reviews are positive against 20% of Hohem GimSet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ZY Play ships an update every 2 months, Hohem GimSet fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
