Stornea
Read full descriptionHide full description
A Storni is what happens when a story comes alive on your phone. You don't read it, you watch it like a movie. Always in first person with distinct visuals for dialogues and monologues. You can finally binge stories with our series or complete our less than 5 minute long quick singles when on the go! Stornea unlike other reading apps is designed for phones (not adapted from books) so it feels extremely natural to use. But don't take our word for it, try Stornea for free and let us know what you think (:
Sarcastical
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sarcastical is a calculator that works properly and, once in a while, has an opinion about the number it just gave you. It is not a joke app with a keypad. It is a real calculator where the humour is rare, and rare is why it works. Most results are met with complete silence. Occasionally a small text face at the bottom of the tape types out a verdict on your arithmetic. Very occasionally it doubts the number out loud, then admits it was right all along. THE CALCULATOR - Correct precedence, nested parentheses, unary minus, percentages - Incomplete expressions resolve instead of complaining - A tape of your last operations, always in view - Long press the result to copy it - Thousands separators, six decimal places, no rounded corners anywhere THE VERDICTS Hand written, never generated. Each one comments on the number without ever contradicting it. The result is always instant, always correct, and always in the same place on screen. VOICES YOU CAN BUY The house voice is included. Each pack rewrites every verdict in a different one, and you choose which one speaks. - The Accountant. Polite, exhausted, passive-aggressive in audit language. - The Nihilist. Every number is equally meaningless, and says so quietly. - The Lawyer. Counsel for the defence. Every total argued in your favour. - Adults Only. The same ledger, kept off the record. 18+. QUIET MODE One switch in settings turns every reaction off and leaves a plain calculator behind. No hard feelings. NO ACCOUNTS. NO TRACKING. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Nobody subscribes to a calculator. Buy it once. Personality packs are optional, one-time purchases. VERDICT ISSUED. NO APPEAL.

Verdict
Stornea and Sarcastical are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
