Warwick Castle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Warwick Castle has 45 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of NX Bus mTicket's written reviews are positive against 9% of Warwick Castle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NX Bus mTicket ships an update every 2 months, Warwick Castle every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
