Verdict

The call

Shake Shack and A both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of A's written reviews are positive against 41% of Shake Shack's. A also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Shake Shack's advantage is ratings volume (611K vs 9) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
