Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
KATV News Little Rock holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KATV News Little Rock has 586 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of KATV News Little Rock's written reviews are positive against 100% of Jonesboro Right Now's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
KATV News Little Rock ships an update fortnightly, Jonesboro Right Now every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
