Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Ngāti Koata
Read full descriptionHide full description
This app is an educational aid to assist with the learning and retention of the oral traditions of Ngāti Koata. Beginners and novices often find it very challenging to learn and retain taonga like these, especially when not directly under the tutelage of learned and experienced teachers. This app is a tool for learning by rote. Each item provides the words (lyric) and one or more recordings, which can be played repeatedly. Most of the items can be played a line at a time; You can select which lines you'd like to focus on and the app plays only those lines, repeating the sequence indefinitely. At any point, you can simply touch the next line to add it to the group being played.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Manapou at every 11 months against Ngāti Koata's every 27 months. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
