Verdict
IGN Entertainment and Tears Map both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Tears Map's written reviews are positive against 44% of IGN Entertainment's. Tears Map also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). IGN Entertainment's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 10). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
