Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sentinel All Access at 2.0 against Daily Herald E's 1.5. Sentinel All Access also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Daily Herald E's advantage is ratings volume (80 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Sentinel All Access holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daily Herald E has 80 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of Daily Herald E's written reviews are positive against 0% of Sentinel All Access's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Daily Herald E ships an update every 9 months, Sentinel All Access every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
