Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Watch TNT at 3.4 against AFN Now's 1.4. Watch TNT also leads on ratings volume (30K vs 580). AFN Now's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Watch TNT holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Watch TNT has 30K ratings behind it against 580, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 3% of Watch TNT's written reviews are positive against 5% of AFN Now's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
