Verdict

The call

Tex and Timewise Stores both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Timewise Stores's written reviews are positive against 39% of Tex's. Timewise Stores also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Tex's advantage is ratings volume (288 vs 12). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
