Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Razer Cortex Mobile at Free against I Dig It Remastered's $2.99. Razer Cortex Mobile also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.4) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 107). I Dig It Remastered's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
