You had a question that you didn't feel comfortable asking someone who knows you... You consistently feel guilty "bothering" the Rabbi with your "simple questions" all the time...

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for InstaRabbi against 4.7 for RamLife. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InstaRabbi has 446 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 97% of InstaRabbi's written reviews are positive against 100% of RamLife's.
