Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: World Cal at 4.9 against Timezone Assistant's 1.0. World Cal also leads on ratings volume (318 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). Timezone Assistant's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

World Cal holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Cal has 318 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of World Cal's written reviews are positive against 100% of Timezone Assistant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
