Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dumb Down at none against Noble Mobile's shown. Dumb Down also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Noble Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (104 vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
