Verdict
The clearest difference is price: LoFiU at Free against GaMBi's $4.99. LoFiU also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 67%). GaMBi's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

LoFiU is free to download; GaMBi costs $4.99 up front. LoFiU sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. GaMBi asks for nothing beyond the download.
GaMBi holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GaMBi has 43 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of GaMBi's written reviews are positive against 88% of LoFiU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GaMBi ships an update every 4 months, LoFiU every 29 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
