Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Makis Adventure Lite at none against Sparklite's 1. Makis Adventure Lite also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Sparklite's advantage is ratings volume (588 vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sparklite holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sparklite has 588 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Sparklite's written reviews are positive against 100% of Makis Adventure Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
