Verdict
iTheme and Lock Screen Widgets both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of iTheme's written reviews are positive against 33% of Lock Screen Widgets's. Lock Screen Widgets's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (107 vs 21). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
