Apple is better overall for app quality because they do actually check apps have a purpose and aren't pretending to be something else. I have watched colleagues get apps approved and it is probably automated to a degree then definitely reviewed by a human if anything suspicious comes up. They were using the camera with explicit permission from the user, but the user couldn't see the camera feed, so Apple asked that an indicator be added whenever it was actively in use. Some things may slip through the cracks, but the Google Play store allows almost anything to be published with little to no checks at all.
