Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hearing Amplifier at 4.4 against GhostVibe Lite's 3.5. Hearing Amplifier also leads on ratings volume (929 vs 24). GhostVibe Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hearing Amplifier holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hearing Amplifier has 929 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of GhostVibe Lite's written reviews are positive against 63% of Hearing Amplifier's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
