Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NeedlePointer at 100% against Liene Photo's 42%. NeedlePointer also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Liene Photo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NeedlePointer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Liene Photo asks for nothing beyond the download.
Liene Photo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Liene Photo has 1.6K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Liene Photo's written reviews are positive against 100% of NeedlePointer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Liene Photo ships an update fortnightly, NeedlePointer weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
