Science Division has developed translation software, available for download to your PADD (Personal Access Display Device), which will allow you to communicate with your Star Trek™ Interactive Tribble, available at ScienceDiv.com! With the Section K-7 app, you can join the covert operation tasked with locating disguised Klingon agents with anti-Federation sympathies. Pair with and name your Tribble, choose your ship, and assign your Tribble to different modes to carry out your mission: At Ease: Your Tribble is not searching for Klingons. It will trill to acknowledge you when you interact with it. When left alone, your Tribble will continue to trill, but will do so less frequently to avoid irritating its human companion. On Duty: Your Tribble will begin actively seeking Klingon agents. Pass it around to determine who is an ally, and who is an enemy among us. Watchdog: Starfleet is entrusting you with sensitive Federation intelligence, which must be secured at all times. If you must leave data unattended, set your Tribble on top of the object that you wish to protect. If a Klingon agent attempts to retrieve that object, your Tribble will alert you! Oh, and we’re not supposed to tell you this, but the practical jokers at Science Division programmed an auxiliary translation function into the software on your PADD. It triggers your Tribble to scream at anyone in close proximity. So, technically, you can set it off on your friends. Do not abuse this. Good luck, recruit!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Gate Guide at 4.8 against Section K's 3.8. Gate Guide also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 16 months). Section K's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
