Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Arcadia at 12K against Dig2China!'s 26. Arcadia also leads on chart position (#3 vs unranked) and device support (6 vs 3). Dig2China!'s advantage is price ($0.99 vs $1.99) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Dig2China! against 4.8 for Arcadia. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arcadia has 12K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 94% and 94% positive.
