Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MPC Legend at Free against Consoles's $7.99. MPC Legend also leads on rating (3.6 vs 3.4) and iOS requirement (5.0 vs 16.0). Consoles's advantage is device support (5 vs 1). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Written reviews complicate that: 52% of MPC Legend's written reviews are positive against 58% of Consoles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
