Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MediaRadarAz at none against TIME Magazine's 10. MediaRadarAz also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). TIME Magazine's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 1) and chart position (#173 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MediaRadarAz holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TIME Magazine has 2.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TIME Magazine ships an update every 3 months, MediaRadarAz every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
