Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: truTV at 4.5 against AltitudePlus+'s 4.0. truTV also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (14K vs 3.1K). AltitudePlus+'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#70 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

truTV holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14K and 3.1K respectively.

truTV ships an update every 3 months, AltitudePlus+ fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
