Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MySeries at 4.2 against Showflix's 3.5. MySeries also leads on review sentiment (38% vs 8%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Showflix's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MySeries holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Showflix has 164 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of MySeries's written reviews are positive against 8% of Showflix's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MySeries ships an update fortnightly, Showflix every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
