"Space" - a simple and intuitive app that I created for my wife (@VrednayaModa) to simplify her blogging life, I hope it will be useful to you too :) In "Space" you can: - Easily make line breaks and spaces that will be preserved on Instagram and any other apps - Write text in different fonts that work everywhere - Add hashtags and special symbols in one click - Plan your feed (so that photos match) - View statistics of your posts (where there are the most likes, comments, etc.) - View Avatars in high quality - Calculate user ER, useful to understand whether an account is fake or not - Set reminders, so you don't forget to make a post - Add tags to posts for clarity and sorting - And much more :) If you liked the app, please leave a review, it's the best motivator for me! If you decide to use the Premium functionality (this is optional), payment will be made from your iTunes account.

Game highlights with the score, game clock and replays, like on TV. Film from the sideline and build the video on the same phone, without an editing app. While the camera is open, Minus5 keeps the last seconds of video. Someone scores, you tap GOAL after the fact, and the clip starts before your tap. What you don't mark isn't kept, so after the game your phone holds only the moments you tapped. HIGHLIGHT REEL • Every tap becomes a clip, and the clips line up in order • Scoreboard with the teams and the score, which you set on the goal's clip • The real game clock: mark the whistle at the start and end of each half • The number and name of who scored • Slow-motion replay right after the moment • Graphics from Strict to Bold • A list of the moments with game minutes for a YouTube description One clip with graphics exports for free. Joining your marked moments into one highlights video takes Minus5 Pro. SPORTS Soccer, basketball, hockey, handball, American football and volleyball. Each has its own event buttons and its own halves, periods, quarters or sets. For any other sport, make your own buttons. DURING THE GAME • If you missed what happened, tap MAX or REC and trim it later • Change the event right in the clip • Two moments back to back both save NEXT GAME "Copy match" carries the teams, colors and graphics over, so at the next game all that's left is filming. The finished video goes to Photos. Minus5 is free. Buy Pro once to keep it forever or subscribe monthly; Pro also removes the logo at the end.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Minus5 at none against Space's shown. Minus5 also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). Space's advantage is ratings volume (282 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
