Verdict
mScopePal and MAX both sit at 2.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 44% of mScopePal's written reviews are positive against 25% of MAX's. mScopePal also leads on ratings volume (27 vs 8). MAX's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
