Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Squishme at none against DISH Anywhere's shown. Squishme also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). DISH Anywhere's advantage is ratings volume (266K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
