# myTextViewer vs QuickEditor

QuickEditor also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). myTextViewer's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 13%) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickEditor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. myTextViewer asks for nothing beyond the download.

QuickEditor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 54% of myTextViewer's written reviews are positive against 13% of QuickEditor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

myTextViewer ships an update every 12 months, QuickEditor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
