Verdict
CHICMI and Bergdorf Goodman both sit at 3.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of CHICMI's written reviews are positive against 10% of Bergdorf Goodman's. CHICMI also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Bergdorf Goodman's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (302 vs 23). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
