Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pop Island at 4.8 against BeGemed's 3.5. Pop Island also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 2). BeGemed's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pop Island sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. BeGemed asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pop Island holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pop Island has 3.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of BeGemed's written reviews are positive against 64% of Pop Island's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BeGemed ships an update every 2 months, Pop Island every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
