Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Redeyed at 100% against WLS's 12%. Redeyed also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5) and ads (none vs shown). WLS's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 31 months) and ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Redeyed holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WLS has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 12% of WLS's written reviews are positive against 100% of Redeyed's.
WLS ships an update every 4 months, Redeyed every 31 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
