Verdict
ShiftBOOKD and Next Pro App both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of ShiftBOOKD's written reviews are positive against 50% of Next Pro App's. ShiftBOOKD also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 21 months). Next Pro App's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
