Rassel – Pocket Shaker transforms your iPhone to a shaken percussion instrument. Just pick up the device and shake it. This initial version comes with four different instruments: Egg, Shaker, Tambourine and Bells. Just swipe the screen to change between them. Unlike similar apps, Rassel is based on a unique audio rendering engine that accounts for continuous velocity changes based on how the sampled instruments are agitated. The device’s gyroscope is directly mapped to this velocity which makes any movement sound the way a real instrument would. We’ve tried to fine-tune the app to be as lifelike as possible, both in sound and handling response. We think we got pretty close. Features: - Instruments: Egg, Shaker, Tambourine and Bells - Choose between loose, normal or tight setting - Loudness boost option

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rassel at 80% against Panasonic MAX Juke's 2%. Rassel also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 14 months). Panasonic MAX Juke's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
