Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: over yonder at 100% against Poemhunter's 40%. over yonder also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). Poemhunter's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and ratings volume (8.6K vs 1). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
