Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TV Guide Australia at 4.7 against Fetch Mobi's 3.4. TV Guide Australia also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (43 vs 5). Fetch Mobi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement 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. TV Guide Australia sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Fetch Mobi asks for nothing beyond the download.
TV Guide Australia holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Guide Australia has 43 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of Fetch Mobi's written reviews are positive against 44% of TV Guide Australia's.
Fetch Mobi ships an update every 2 months, TV Guide Australia every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
