Verdict

The call

Matterhorn and Skihelper.com both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Skihelper.com's written reviews are positive against 18% of Matterhorn's. Skihelper.com also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). Matterhorn's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 13) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
