Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Golfmetrics at 3.8 against Metro Timer's 1.8. Golfmetrics also leads on ratings volume (122 vs 11). Metro Timer's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 16%) and in-app purchases (none vs 13). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Golfmetrics holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golfmetrics has 122 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Metro Timer's written reviews are positive against 16% of Golfmetrics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
