Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lightghost at 86% against Vizzywig's 48%. Lightghost also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). Vizzywig's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (48 vs 12). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vizzywig holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 48 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Vizzywig's written reviews are positive against 86% of Lightghost's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
