Verdict
Trusted News and American News both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Trusted News's written reviews are positive against 0% of American News's. Trusted News also leads on ratings volume (41 vs 8). American News's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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. Trusted News sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. American News asks for nothing beyond the download.
American News holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trusted News has 41 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Trusted News's written reviews are positive against 0% of American News's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Trusted News ships an update monthly, American News every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
