RTVE VR 360 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PlayRenfe has 39 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 4% of PlayRenfe's written reviews are positive against 0% of RTVE VR 360's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PlayRenfe ships an update every 2 months, RTVE VR 360 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
