Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: How About? at Free against SatFinder Pro HD Dish Pointer's $2.99. How About? also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 54%) and device support (3 vs 1). SatFinder Pro HD Dish Pointer's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SatFinder Pro HD Dish Pointer holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SatFinder Pro HD Dish Pointer has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of SatFinder Pro HD Dish Pointer's written reviews are positive against 75% of How About?'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
