Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MapGenie at 4.8 against MH World Database's 4.0. MapGenie also leads on ratings volume (2.6K vs 24). MH World Database's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MapGenie holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 2.6K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of MH World Database's written reviews are positive against 56% of MapGenie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
