Nothing is random. That's the whole idea. Bayou Feedback is a haunted anomaly meter. Five streams of numbers tick away, day and night, over dark Louisiana water — and each stream is born from a completely different kind of mathematics: THE OLD CLOCK — a classic 1950s formula, ticking like machinery THE LONG MEMORY — the Mersenne Twister, which won't repeat for 6,000 digits' worth of draws THE LIGHTNING PATH — pure bit-flips, scattering like rain on water THE BUTTERFLY — deterministic chaos, the butterfly effect in one line of math THE BAYOU ITSELF — real entropy harvested from your own device's physical noise True randomness never agrees with itself. The brass needle at the bottom measures how much these five unrelated streams are agreeing anyway. GREEN is life. You will almost always see green. YELLOW drifts by now and then. Chance allows it. ORANGE is rare — days can pass between sightings. RED is roughly a ONE-IN-A-MILLION alignment. Years of continuous watching. Technically, it should never happen. Technically. THE WATCHERS You're not alone out there. Folks around the water say what they see — calm and easy when the bayou is quiet, and less easy as the needle climbs. Every scene has its own voices, and they never repeat a line until they've said them all. THE LEDGER If red ever comes, the moment is written down forever — the date, the time, and the odds it defied. Most ledgers stay empty. Yours probably will too. Probably. THE MATH, HONESTLY No tricks and no hand-waving: Settings explains every generator in plain language, the three statistical tests running on each stream (chi-square, runs, and drift), and the true odds of the needle ever reaching red. What it means when the bayou responds is up to you. SCENES Begin at Bayou Dusk, free. Venture deeper with optional scene packs — the Haunted Bayou, the changing Bayou Seasons, the Whispering Bayou with its own watchers, and the Deep Bayou where every scene keeps three voices of its own. Unlock every pack at once, or join the Bayou Byte Club for every scene we ever make. • No account. No cloud. No data collected — everything stays on your device. • Reactive soundscape: the frog chorus goes quiet as the needle climbs. • Alerts you can trust: the bell only tolls for the one-in-a-million. For entertainment purposes — the math is real, the dread is optional. From Bayou Byte Studio — useful apps with atmosphere.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bayou Feedback at 5.0 against Frndly TV's 3.6. Bayou Feedback also leads on ads (none vs shown). Frndly TV's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Frndly TV sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Bayou Feedback sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bayou Feedback holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Frndly TV has 2.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
