Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Meme Pics HD at 70% against Smart Shades's 25%. Meme Pics HD also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Smart Shades's advantage is rating (2.1 vs 1.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads and device support 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. Meme Pics HD sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Smart Shades asks for nothing beyond the download.
Smart Shades holds the better App Store score, 2.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Shades has 65 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Meme Pics HD's written reviews are positive against 25% of Smart Shades's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Meme Pics HD ships an update every 3 weeks, Smart Shades every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
