Verdict

The call

Retirement Countdown App and Shark Tracker both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Retirement Countdown App's written reviews are positive against 8% of Shark Tracker's. Retirement Countdown App also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 554). Shark Tracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
