Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Animal Pre at 4.5 against Learn Patterns's 4.1. Animal Pre also leads on ratings volume (656 vs 12). Learn Patterns's advantage is iOS requirement (6.1 vs 11.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Animal Pre holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Animal Pre has 656 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Animal Pre's written reviews are positive against 70% of Learn Patterns's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
