Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: V2EX at 79% against 豆瓣's 22%. V2EX also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). 豆瓣's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (22K vs 28). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 豆瓣 sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. V2EX asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

豆瓣 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 豆瓣 has 22K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of 豆瓣's written reviews are positive against 79% of V2EX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

豆瓣 ships an update fortnightly, V2EX every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 22, 2026 respectively.
