ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

deiterLine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloud Outliner has 755 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Cloud Outliner's written reviews are positive against 0% of deiterLine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cloud Outliner ships an update every 6 months, deiterLine every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
