Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Moving Beyond the Page at 4.0 against Touch's 3.4. Moving Beyond the Page also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.3 vs 15.0). Touch's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 7) and review sentiment (59% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Moving Beyond the Page holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Touch has 52 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Touch's written reviews are positive against 50% of Moving Beyond the Page's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
