The call

The clearest difference is rating: Shoot at 4.8 against Night Slashers's 4.3. Shoot also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (11 vs 3). Night Slashers's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shoot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Shoot's written reviews are positive against 100% of Night Slashers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
