Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Webcams World View at Free against TV Maps's $2.99. Webcams World View also leads on rating (4.2 vs 2.2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 33 months). TV Maps's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Webcams World View holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Webcams World View has 395 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Webcams World View's written reviews are positive against 35% of TV Maps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Webcams World View ships an update every 2 months, TV Maps every 33 months. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
