We are moving from ara.cat to Diari Ara. In the new app we highlight our own content, the main topics, the extensive interviews and all those proposals that want to accompany readers and go beyond the noise of daily information. We know that news is synonymous with immediacy and we believe that this goal has to coexist with journalistic rigor. The app is structured in five sections: - Cover: daily news grouped into topics, edited in an updated way by the newspaper. - Breaking: brief information on current events in real time. The contents are open and free for all readers. - Discover: a space to explore reflective and timeless content, which is selected daily by the editorial staff. -Search engine: to search for articles by keywords or sections. - Profile: the subscriber and registered reader’s own section, with all their informative activity. The reader can enjoy ten monthly contents via a free registration or have unlimited access to all the contents and advantages of the ARA through a subscription. Subscriber engagement is now more important than ever. As subscribers, you can follow each other, mention each other, react to other comments, and answer from your own point of view. All this is essential to enrich the newspaper through debate. The comments’ quality and demands are one of our assets and we greatly value your collaboration.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Diari ARA at 3.7 against IB3's 1.0. Diari ARA also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). IB3's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (35% vs 6%). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement 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. Diari ARA sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. IB3 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Diari ARA holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of IB3's written reviews are positive against 6% of Diari ARA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
