Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GAA Score at 100% against BBC Sport's 63%. GAA Score also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). BBC Sport's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
