Verdict
New Republic and Ring Magazine both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 74% of Ring Magazine's written reviews are positive against 36% of New Republic's. Ring Magazine also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). New Republic's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 205) and chart position (#176 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. New Republic sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Ring Magazine sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ring Magazine holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: New Republic has 2.6K ratings behind it against 205, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of New Republic's written reviews are positive against 74% of Ring Magazine's.
New Republic ships an update every 4 months, Ring Magazine fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
