Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MapGenie at 100% against Digiloom's 24%. MapGenie also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.7). Digiloom's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 50 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
