Verdict
TrueCoach and Trainer App both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Trainer App's written reviews are positive against 41% of TrueCoach's. Trainer App also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). TrueCoach's advantage is ratings volume (36K vs 12). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
