Verdict
WNCT 9 On Your Side and Reflector NC both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Reflector NC's written reviews are positive against 67% of WNCT 9 On Your Side's. Reflector NC also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). WNCT 9 On Your Side's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 24) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months).

WNCT 9 On Your Side holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WNCT 9 On Your Side has 2.1K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of WNCT 9 On Your Side's written reviews are positive against 100% of Reflector NC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WNCT 9 On Your Side ships an update every 6 weeks, Reflector NC every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
