Verdict
Planbook Mobile and myViewBoard both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of myViewBoard's written reviews are positive against 51% of Planbook Mobile's. myViewBoard also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Planbook Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (7.2K vs 12) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
