FencingPool lets you track who you're fencing next, when you are up in a pool, and whether you're left or right. Rather than finding your pool on www.fencingtimelive.com, taking a screenshot of the details list (and possibly marking it up with scores), FencingPool directly imports the pool data, highlights your bouts, and lets you record scores directly. Every time you enter a score after a bout, your next bout is highlighted. At the end of the pool, a handy grid display shows your scores for easy comparison with the referee's pool sheet. The best way to add a new pool is to go to fencingtimelive.com, find your pool, click on the "Details" tab and scroll to the very bottom. Click on "Open in FencingPool" to have the details of your pool loaded into the app. Alternately, you can use your phone's camera to scan the QR code at the bottom of the referee's score sheet once you arrive at the strip.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: FencingPool at fortnightly against FMAC Scanner's every 2 months. FMAC Scanner's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
