Verdict
Pocket Tie Guide and Smart Printer App both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Pocket Tie Guide's written reviews are positive against 14% of Smart Printer App's. Pocket Tie Guide also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Smart Printer App's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
