Verdict

The call

Composite and CB2 both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Composite's written reviews are positive against 36% of CB2's. Composite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). CB2's advantage is ratings volume (844 vs 7). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
