Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Learn Psychology Basics at 100% against DSM's 33%. Learn Psychology Basics also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). DSM's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (308 vs 5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DSM holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DSM has 308 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Learn Psychology Basics's written reviews are positive against 33% of DSM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
