Verdict
SimpleTip and RYOBI both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of SimpleTip's written reviews are positive against 30% of RYOBI's. RYOBI's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
