Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ilokano Random at 100% against Ling's 61%. Ilokano Random also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Ling's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 3) and chart position (#61 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ilokano Random holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ling has 17K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Ling's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ilokano Random's.
