Verdict

The call

truTV and Q'd Up! both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Q'd Up!'s written reviews are positive against 15% of truTV's. Q'd Up! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). truTV's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 8). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
