Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Network at 5.0 against EE's 4.5. My Network also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). EE's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Network holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EE has 2.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of My Network's written reviews are positive against 10% of EE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Network ships an update every 6 months, EE fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
