Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MagellanTV Documentaries at 4.6 against Revry's 3.9. MagellanTV Documentaries also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 65). Revry's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 37%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MagellanTV Documentaries holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MagellanTV Documentaries has 3.9K ratings behind it against 65, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Revry's written reviews are positive against 37% of MagellanTV Documentaries's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Revry ships an update every 2 months, MagellanTV Documentaries every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
