ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

דבר holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Jerusalem Post has 204 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of The Jerusalem Post's written reviews are positive against 0% of דבר's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The Jerusalem Post ships an update every 2 months, דבר every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
