Verdict

The call

简明日语 and 日语单词 both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of 简明日语's written reviews are positive against 76% of 日语单词's. 简明日语 also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). 日语单词's advantage is ratings volume (82 vs 9) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
