Yes, you will still have to read the 787 FCOM. But if you have started off reading 787 Guide, I guarantee that grasping the content of the 787 FCOM will be a whole lot easier!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 787 Guide at 4.7 against B787 Cockpit Pilot Trainer's 3.0. 787 Guide also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 46 months) and ratings volume (172 vs 2). B787 Cockpit Pilot Trainer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

787 Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 100% of B787 Cockpit Pilot Trainer's written reviews are positive against 77% of 787 Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
