Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Record at 65% against CNN Portugal's 17%. Record also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 5). CNN Portugal's advantage is rating (3.6 vs 2.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 9). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Record sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. CNN Portugal asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CNN Portugal holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Record's written reviews are positive against 17% of CNN Portugal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Record ships an update every 2 months, CNN Portugal every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
