Blur Text and Longshot both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Longshot's written reviews are positive against 20% of Blur Text's. Longshot also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (243 vs 3). Blur Text's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
