What is Reddit's opinion of Experian - Free Credit Report?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I checked my status recently by downloading the Experian app and counting the number of accounts.

Here is the link for Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.experian.android&hl=en

Here is the link for the AppStore: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/experian-credit-report/id1087101090?mt=8

If you have Android, this is quite helpful for checking Ex. It shows your report, but not your score. It also notifies you of inquiries. Here it is on iTunes.

Like the above user said, won't show the FICO score but shows all details from your experian report.

^Right there^

I'm so confused as to what is it that these companies provide "free report once a year" that is not given free every month? What's the difference?

Edit: also, credit Karma does the same - even says in the video that it's "always free" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRPpaatyaeM

you can, check, monitor and print your report.

Ahh yes, sorry got the names confused.

Do the others have android apps? I have found a couple for experian but dont know which is the official one, if any. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.experian.android&hl=en_GB https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.intellectsoft.experian&hl=en_GB
