Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tag Shark at 5.0 against WAS's 4.6. Tag Shark also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). WAS's advantage is ratings volume (96 vs 1) and price ($2.49 vs $3.99). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
