Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 角端 at 5.0 against Common Reader's 3.0. 角端 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Common Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
