Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Liahona at 100% against NephiCalm's 48%. My Liahona also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). NephiCalm's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (591 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NephiCalm sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and My Liahona sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NephiCalm holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NephiCalm has 591 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of NephiCalm's written reviews are positive against 100% of My Liahona's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
