Verdict
Hooked TV and Crispy both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Crispy's written reviews are positive against 37% of Hooked TV's. Crispy also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Hooked TV's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 12). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hooked TV sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Crispy sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Crispy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hooked TV has 12K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 37% of Hooked TV's written reviews are positive against 100% of Crispy's.
Hooked TV ships an update every 3 weeks, Crispy weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
