Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Double Pendulum at none against Quantum's 6. Double Pendulum also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 26.0). Quantum's advantage is ratings volume (133 vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quantum sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Double Pendulum asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Quantum holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quantum has 133 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Double Pendulum's written reviews are positive against 86% of Quantum's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
