Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Penguin Isle at 4.8 against SkySwings's 4.2. Penguin Isle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 13 months). SkySwings's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Penguin Isle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. SkySwings asks for nothing beyond the download.
Penguin Isle holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Penguin Isle has 39K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of SkySwings's written reviews are positive against 71% of Penguin Isle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SkySwings ships an update every 13 months, Penguin Isle monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
