Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iDousyn Lite at 4.4 against Stylusphone Lite's 3.0. iDousyn Lite also leads on ratings volume (699 vs 50). Stylusphone Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iDousyn Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iDousyn Lite has 699 ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of iDousyn Lite's written reviews are positive against 53% of Stylusphone Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
