AwSnap! is the ONLY iMessage app that lets you capture the look on your friend’s face while they're viewing the photos and videos you send. It's crazy simple: 1. Choose or create a photo or video 2. Set the perfect second to capture their reaction and send 3. They can't see the message until they tap to open it, once they open it their reaction will be captured 4. They can choose to send their reaction back to you (we don't automatically send it back and give them a chance to review the photo) It's crazy simple, tons of fun and the results are hilarious! ***PLEASE NOTE*** We've noticed some confusion regarding how to access iMessage apps when downloaded from the app store. Because iMessage apps do not place an app icon on your home screen, when you download the AwSnap! app you'll need to access it through the iMessage app to use it. Here's how to do that: 1. Open iMessage 2. Create a new message or enter an existing one 3. Swipe through your iMessage apps until you get to the icon with 3 dots, tap that. 4. Find AwSnap in the list and swipe to delete.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AwSnap! at none against MenLink's 3. AwSnap! also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0.0). MenLink's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 22 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
