Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NAVADMIN Viewer at 4.6 against NavyMWR's 3.7. NAVADMIN Viewer also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). NavyMWR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
