Verdict
Kobe Rewards and Sonny's BBQ both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Kobe Rewards's written reviews are positive against 58% of Sonny's BBQ's. Kobe Rewards also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Sonny's BBQ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
