Verdict

The call

STR8 Performance and Dr. Dish Player both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of STR8 Performance's written reviews are positive against 54% of Dr. Dish Player's. STR8 Performance also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Dr. Dish Player's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
