Verdict
Fancy Fonts and Remote Control for Sky both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Fancy Fonts's written reviews are positive against 21% of Remote Control for Sky's. Fancy Fonts also leads on ratings volume (372 vs 9) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Remote Control for Sky's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
