Verdict
AMI Play and GHQ App both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of GHQ App's written reviews are positive against 58% of AMI Play's. GHQ App also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). AMI Play's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (18K vs 11). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
