Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DJI GO at 2.3 against H3 Control's 1.6. DJI GO also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 14). H3 Control's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DJI GO holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DJI GO has 3.3K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of DJI GO's written reviews are positive against 19% of H3 Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
