Both are free to download. MagellanTV Documentaries sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. The Doomsday Alarm Clock asks for nothing beyond the download.
MagellanTV Documentaries holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MagellanTV Documentaries has 3.9K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of MagellanTV Documentaries's written reviews are positive against 67% of The Doomsday Alarm Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MagellanTV Documentaries ships an update every 3 weeks, The Doomsday Alarm Clock fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
