EnGarde Hub

I keep forgetting the many websites' urls for fencing, including askfred, my club scheduling system, and school calendar, so I decide to create a simple app to keep everything in one place. There several features: Default quick access to FencingTracker, USA Fencing, Fencing Time Live, AskFred. You could use "Add link" to add club scheduling and school calandar, etc. A checklist of items to bring or things to do for each competition. A simple pool score recorder (Fencing Time Live has a better one but I didn't know before creating this.) Offline Membership card to avoid the hastle at checking in when internet is poor at the venue. Multiple fencers' profiles can be created for siblings. Some new experimental features are coming, including Fencers and Moves notebook. These are pre-alpha feature and I expect to have lots of changes in the future.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: EnGarde Hub at Free against FencingLab's $0.99. EnGarde Hub also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6). FencingLab's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and chart position (#76 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
