The ticker that scrolls like on TV. But it's your life scrolling by. Write your messages. They scroll in big glowing letters, like an airport sign. Write {time} or {date} in your ticker: Bandeo replaces them live. Four styles: Fire, Ember, Aurora, Magic. Four sizes, from small to giant. Set the speed of each ticker. Double-tap the screen: sign mode. Everything disappears, only your tickers remain. The screen stays on. Everything is local. No internet. No account. No data collected. By the creator of Zoneo.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: F2Pool at none against Bandeo's 1. F2Pool also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Bandeo's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
