Verdict

The call

Waffle and TelepathyWatch both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of TelepathyWatch's written reviews are positive against 45% of Waffle's. TelepathyWatch also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Waffle's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
