Verdict
Coachella Official and Coldplay both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Coldplay's written reviews are positive against 44% of Coachella Official's. Coldplay also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Coachella Official's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 143) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
