Verdict
Hop and Tricky Shot both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Hop's written reviews are positive against 36% of Tricky Shot's. Hop also leads on ratings volume (30K vs 381). Tricky Shot's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
