Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DBD App at Free against Shockwave Therapy's $4.99. DBD App also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and device support (3 vs 1). Shockwave Therapy's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 15 months) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 13.0). On ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
