Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Riot Mobile at none against MapGenie's 1. Riot Mobile also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 27 months). MapGenie's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 35%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
