Verdict
MapGenie and P5R Guide both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 98% of P5R Guide's written reviews are positive against 43% of MapGenie's. P5R Guide also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 17 months). MapGenie's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
