Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Helicopter by CodeHS at Free against Multiponk's $5.99. Helicopter by CodeHS also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Multiponk's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (51 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Multiponk holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Multiponk has 51 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Multiponk's written reviews are positive against 100% of Helicopter by CodeHS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
