Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: dewenwils at 4.6 against BN's 2.3. dewenwils also leads on ratings volume (237 vs 37). BN's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
dewenwils holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: dewenwils has 237 ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of dewenwils's written reviews are positive against 37% of BN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
dewenwils ships an update every 10 months, BN every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
