Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ThePaddock at none against Mountain Flyer Magazine's 11. ThePaddock also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Mountain Flyer Magazine's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 15.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
