Verdict

The call

Con and Fanward both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Con's written reviews are positive against 50% of Fanward's. Con also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Fanward's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
