Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Iberia at 70K against Aena's 221. Iberia also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (34% vs 18%). Aena's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Iberia holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4.

Written reviews point the same way: 34% of Iberia's written reviews are positive against 18% of Aena's.
