Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PopKnock at none against Tanger's shown. PopKnock also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Tanger's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
