# Radio Forth vs UK Radios

The clearest difference is rating: Radio Forth at 4.6 against UK Radios's 3.7. UK Radios's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Radio Forth holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 41 and 24 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Radio Forth's written reviews are positive against 72% of UK Radios's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Radio Forth ships an update every 4 months, UK Radios monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
