Verdict
E! News and LB 908 both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of LB 908's written reviews are positive against 27% of E! News's. LB 908 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). E! News's advantage is ratings volume (48K vs 21). On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
