Verdict
Australian Aviation and Daylight both sit at 4.1 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Daylight's written reviews are positive against 40% of Australian Aviation's. Daylight also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). Australian Aviation's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
