Quibbly is a question-and-answer application created, edited and organized by its community of users. "Quibbles" are topics of discussion that can be kept private, shared with a select group of people, or opened up for comment by the rest of the community. Unlike other question and answer applications, Quibbly allows you to post topics and answer questions using your own voice, text, and photos. Because location is relevant, Quibbly allows you to also assign locations and see contributors on a map. Users "like" or "dislike" topics and comments, as well as police the platform through flagging. Users can create an account or use Facebook single-signin. Users can also invite others to participate in a topic of discussion via email, SMS, or FB post to their wall. Quibbly is fun, entertaining, and definitely a way for people to learn more from their network of friends and connections. Check it out today! Download now!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quibbly at none against Hydra's 5. Quibbly also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Hydra's advantage is ratings volume (814 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
