Verdict
Bimmerpost and Reef2Reef both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of Reef2Reef's written reviews are positive against 66% of Bimmerpost's. Bimmerpost's advantage is ratings volume (7K vs 43) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
