This app uses elements of the Periodic Table to spell out your name, or just about any other phrase you’d like. First select your spelling (The name "Corey" can start out with Carbon and Oxygen, or the the simpler Cobalt). Then customize it by choosing fonts, colors, background images, and shading. The Atomic Letters app will generate a PNG file suitable for everything from email signatures to t-shirt designs. If your name is Bacon or Beer, there are already several places on the interwebs to find your name spelled out with items from the Periodic Table. This app is for the rest of us.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Atomic Letters at none against Podverse's 1. Atomic Letters also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Podverse's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 61 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
