Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cinema Guide at 80% against Greendale Cinema's 0%. Cinema Guide also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 20 months). Greendale Cinema's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Greendale Cinema holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Greendale Cinema has 159 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Cinema Guide's written reviews are positive against 0% of Greendale Cinema's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cinema Guide ships an update every 5 months, Greendale Cinema every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
