Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: kmpublic at 100% against NWS Mobile's 60%. NWS Mobile's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NWS Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NWS Mobile has 93 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of kmpublic's written reviews are positive against 60% of NWS Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

kmpublic ships an update every 3 months, NWS Mobile every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
