Verdict

The call

Hungry Shark Evolution and Phone Evolution both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of Hungry Shark Evolution's written reviews are positive against 35% of Phone Evolution's. Hungry Shark Evolution also leads on ratings volume (201K vs 5.9K) and chart position (#69 vs unranked). Phone Evolution's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
