Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Darkhorse Press at 4.6 against Hacker Buzz's 4.0. Hacker Buzz's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 32 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Darkhorse Press holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Hacker Buzz's written reviews are positive against 67% of Darkhorse Press's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hacker Buzz ships an update weekly, Darkhorse Press every 32 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
