Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Downs App at none against Discover Acropolis's 1. The Downs App also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Discover Acropolis's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 32 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
