Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Pocket8 at Free against Paintball 3's $9.99. Pocket8 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (40 vs 1). Paintball 3's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pocket8 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket8 has 40 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Paintball 3's written reviews are positive against 67% of Pocket8's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
