Verdict

The call

收音机 and TuneWave both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of TuneWave's written reviews are positive against 50% of 收音机's. TuneWave also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). 收音机's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (947 vs 32). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
