Version 3.0 adds Talking Photo: type a sentence and the face in a photo speaks it. Videos on your Apple Watch • Pick a video from Photos or Files, set the start and end by turning a dial, and keep only the part you need • Trimmed clips appear in your list and go to your Apple Watch with one tap • See the elapsed time, whether the app is waiting for your Watch, and whether it is connected • Six sample videos built in — no download needed • Open stock-video sites in the built-in browser and import a clip you like Talking Photo (new) • Choose a photo or illustration of a person and type a sentence. Faces are found automatically; if none is found, place frames over the mouth and eyes • Lips follow every sound, with expressions, blinks and subtle head movement • 60+ languages detected automatically. Enhanced and Premium voices, or your Personal Voice • The video is added to the top of your list, ready to send to your Watch On the Apple Watch • Tap to play, double-tap to switch display mode, swipe in a circle to seek, turn the Digital Crown for volume • Pick from your list, play with the standard player or delete, right on the Watch Privacy Trimming, transfer, face detection and speech synthesis all happen on your iPhone and Apple Watch.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Squarize at none against PuchiScreen's 1. Squarize also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). PuchiScreen's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
