Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MyNetstar at none against uConnect.'s shown. MyNetstar also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). uConnect.'s advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 50%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MyNetstar holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyNetstar has 68 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of uConnect.'s written reviews are positive against 50% of MyNetstar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
uConnect. ships an update every 2 months, MyNetstar fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
