The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Krystal 93 at 100% against truTV's 15%. truTV's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (14K vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

truTV holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: truTV has 14K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of truTV's written reviews are positive against 100% of Krystal 93's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

truTV ships an update every 3 months, Krystal 93 every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
