Verdict
Expression Guest Registry™ and Pocket Crochet both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Pocket Crochet's written reviews are positive against 0% of Expression Guest Registry™'s. Pocket Crochet also leads on ratings volume (621 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Expression Guest Registry™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Crochet sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Expression Guest Registry™ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Expression Guest Registry™ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket Crochet has 621 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Expression Guest Registry™'s written reviews are positive against 87% of Pocket Crochet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Expression Guest Registry™ ships an update every 2 months, Pocket Crochet every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
