Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Takeover Game at none against Wahoo's 2. Takeover Game also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 43%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Wahoo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
