The Garth LIVE AR app brings the book cover and 10 inside pictures to life when fans hold their smartphone camera lens over the identified images in the book Garth Brooks Anthology - Part lll “LIVE.” From the moment Garth flew over a crowd in Dallas to the day in Ireland when fans pulled him into one of the greatest crowd-surfing moments in music history, the AR app enables readers to relive each moment through technology. Garth LIVE works ONLY when the special pictures are registered in the camera lens. The AR experiences will be maintained online for two years from street date (November 20, 2020.)

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Garth LIVE at every 4 days against WCRI's every 4 months. Garth LIVE also leads on ratings volume (22 vs 7) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). WCRI's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, rating, 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.
Garth LIVE holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of WCRI's written reviews are positive against 80% of Garth LIVE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WCRI ships an update every 4 months, Garth LIVE every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
