Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: GAMEYE at Free against Pocket Guide's $0.99. GAMEYE also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 16). Pocket Guide's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
