Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
eICS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of eICS's written reviews are positive against 86% of ICS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
