ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

xpression avatar holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xpression avatar has 17K ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of The Headlines's written reviews are positive against 27% of xpression avatar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The Headlines ships an update every 3 months, xpression avatar every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
