Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Train Ticket App at 4.6 against NTES's 3.1. Train Ticket App also leads on ratings volume (6.4K vs 66). NTES's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Train Ticket App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Train Ticket App has 6.4K ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of NTES's written reviews are positive against 43% of Train Ticket App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NTES ships an update every 2 weeks, Train Ticket App every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
