A Ripost.hu bulvárlap tartalmának kiterjesztése, jobban olvasható megjelenítése mellett az app lehetőséget ad arra is, hogy a felhasználó néhány mozdulattal fotókat, videókat küldjön rövid szöveg kíséretében a szerkesztőségnek. Ezzel lehetőség nyílik a később játékokban való részvételre, a ripost.hu honlapon a jövőben közzétett és az első indításkor az app által is jelzett feltételek alapján. Ha Ön sztárt lát, kapja elő a telefonját, és egy pillanat alatt küldje el nekünk a fotót vagy videót, amit készített! Legyen a munkatársunk!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Ripost at none against Index.hu's shown. Ripost also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). Index.hu's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 0%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
