Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dig2China! Free at none against Rocket Buddy's 8. Dig2China! Free also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (88% vs 69%). Rocket Buddy's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (11K vs 497). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rocket Buddy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rocket Buddy has 11K ratings behind it against 497, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Dig2China! Free's written reviews are positive against 69% of Rocket Buddy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
