Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Whirlwind Evolution at 4.8 against Planet Orbiter's 3.8. Whirlwind Evolution also leads on ratings volume (6.3K vs 8). Planet Orbiter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Whirlwind Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whirlwind Evolution has 6.3K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Planet Orbiter's written reviews are positive against 75% of Whirlwind Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
