UK Terror Alert holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 70% of UK Terror Alert's written reviews are positive against 88% of TalkingPoints's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UK Terror Alert ships an update weekly, TalkingPoints every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
