Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CurrentDrive at Free against SkyPocket's $0.99. CurrentDrive also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3). SkyPocket's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CurrentDrive holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SkyPocket has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
