Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 1000 Series at 3.1 against 4D FLY's 2.3. 1000 Series also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). 4D FLY's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
1000 Series holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 104 and 240 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of 4D FLY's written reviews are positive against 24% of 1000 Series's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
4D FLY ships an update every 2 months, 1000 Series every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
