Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 四川观察 at 5.0 against 川观新闻's 3.0. 四川观察 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). 川观新闻's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 50%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 四川观察 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 川观新闻 asks for nothing beyond the download.
四川观察 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of 川观新闻's written reviews are positive against 50% of 四川观察's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
川观新闻 ships an update monthly, 四川观察 weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
