Language is an integral part of the unique cultural heritage of Norfolk Islanders. It is hoped that this fun and interactive app will help to maintain and reinvigorate the use of the language. The Norfolk Language (Norf'k) developed as a means of communication on Pitcairn Island between the English mutineers and their Tahitian wives in 1790. It was brought to Norfolk Island in 1856 when the Pitcairn Islanders relocated there, and is still spoken today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Norf'k at every 4 days against SHI's every 46 months. SHI's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
