Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Four at Free against air's $4.99. Four also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 89%). air's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (20 vs 1). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

air holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: air has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Four's written reviews are positive against 89% of air's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
