# Bison 1660 vs MidcoTV

The clearest difference is rating: Bison 1660 at 4.6 against MidcoTV's 1.7. Bison 1660 also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). MidcoTV's advantage is ratings volume (72 vs 8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Bison 1660 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MidcoTV has 72 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Bison 1660's written reviews are positive against 7% of MidcoTV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bison 1660 ships an update every 5 months, MidcoTV every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
