Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ANEWS Mobile at 5.0 against WordPress's 4.6. ANEWS Mobile also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). WordPress's advantage is ratings volume (22K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ANEWS Mobile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordPress has 22K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
WordPress ships an update every 3 weeks, ANEWS Mobile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
