Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GemCode at none against Hedgehog Gardens's 4. GemCode also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Hedgehog Gardens's advantage is ratings volume (77 vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hedgehog Gardens holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hedgehog Gardens has 77 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Hedgehog Gardens's written reviews are positive against 100% of GemCode's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
