Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iTranscreen at 4.4 against Subtitles Viewer LIVE's 3.9. iTranscreen also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (252 vs 23). Subtitles Viewer LIVE's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iTranscreen holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTranscreen has 252 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Subtitles Viewer LIVE's written reviews are positive against 75% of iTranscreen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Subtitles Viewer LIVE ships an update every 19 months, iTranscreen fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
