# 好看视频 vs CCTV手机电视

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CCTV手机电视 at 96% against 好看视频's 48%. CCTV手机电视 also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 608) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). 好看视频's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 好看视频 sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and CCTV手机电视 sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

好看视频 holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 608 and 2.2K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of 好看视频's written reviews are positive against 96% of CCTV手机电视's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

好看视频 ships an update fortnightly, CCTV手机电视 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
