Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Text Message Sounds + at 4.0 against VoiceControl's 1.6. Text Message Sounds + also leads on review sentiment (27% vs 0%) and ratings volume (318 vs 14). VoiceControl's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Reported bugs
6 issues- Not Working ???
- Literally, nothing happens.
- All I saw was an ad for a game, closed the ad and got a blank screen
- As soon as the app is opened it pops up with an add. Normally adds don’t bother me but when the x appears you can’t click on it, all is does is pop up with ‘copy’.
- Goes straight to a solitaire game app

- There is no way to see apps in iTunes any more so instructions are useless. Unless the developer has a new way of downloading these this app does not work.
