The O2 Venue App holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The O2 Venue App has 640 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 2% of The O2 Venue App's written reviews are positive against 25% of CrowdComms's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The O2 Venue App ships an update every 2 months, CrowdComms weekly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
