Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: النهار at 64% against LBCI Lebanon's 18%. النهار also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). LBCI Lebanon's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price 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. LBCI Lebanon sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per 3 months. النهار asks for nothing beyond the download.
LBCI Lebanon holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LBCI Lebanon has 1.2K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of LBCI Lebanon's written reviews are positive against 64% of النهار's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LBCI Lebanon ships an update every 9 days, النهار every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
