Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Datasheet (PDF) at 75% against Mouser's 18%. Datasheet (PDF) also leads on rating (3.7 vs 2.4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Mouser's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (34 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

- Sur les outils, les conversion sont impossibles avec les décimales car sur le pavé numérique est afficher une virgule(,) alors que le l’application ne fonctionne qu’avec le point.

- Carts do not sync with website
- The issues stated in the old reviews appear to have been fixed.
- The app cannot find Mouser part numbers that are immediately found using a desktop computer.
- App crashes every time I try to view component data sheets or documentation.
- Newest Products links in the iOS app do not work. They just bring you to the main menu.
- Can't access my cart in latest update.
- When you have so many products - it takes considerable effort to pare down to what you need. Then start adding to the cart. One mistaken press and you are doing it all over. It’s maddening.
- The app kind of opens the website within itself but also has a few of its own buttons so you’re never quite sure were you’re meant to click.
- If you want to buy a part you have to go to the Mouser web site.
- The app isn't iOS 7 optimized and really is only their website in a browser, aside from the scanner.
- Part number search takes you to a page in the catalog, instead of to the product description or part spec sheet.
