Verdict

The call

JellyTV and Multiview App both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of JellyTV's written reviews are positive against 67% of Multiview App's. Multiview App's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 days) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
