Dějiny Prahy jsou spjaté i s jejím německým obyvatelstvem a jeho kulturou. SAMSA tě zavede na místa, jež nesou stopu této „německé Prahy“ – jsou spojená s činností německy mluvících architektů, výtvarných umělců, literátů, hudebníků, spolků, škol a dalších institucí. U každého místa appka nabízí německý text se základním popisem, informacemi k jeho dějinám a roli v kulturním životě, a několik současných i historických fotografií. Výklad stojí na ověřených zdrojích, ale nezahltí tě. Objevuj s mobilem v ruce pozapomenutou součást dějin města! Aplikace vznikla v rámci společného projektu Shromáždění německých spolků v ČR a studentů i učitelů germanistiky na Filozofické fakultě Univerzity Karlovy. Počet hesel bude průběžně rozšiřován.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: JMB App at every 3 weeks against Samsa's every 16 months. Samsa's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
