Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iReels at Free against PictureDisplay's $0.99. iReels also leads on rating (4.0 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). PictureDisplay's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
