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.
花城Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of 花城Plus's written reviews are positive against 100% of 闪电新闻's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
