Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: myCVA at none against Hornady Reloading Guide's 3. myCVA also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). Hornady Reloading Guide's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
