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. 看苏州 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. 荔枝新闻 asks for nothing beyond the download.
荔枝新闻 holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of 荔枝新闻's written reviews are positive against 100% of 看苏州's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
荔枝新闻 ships an update every 5 weeks, 看苏州 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
