This feature expands your space and can be exceptionally useful when you need to cross-reference multiple documents or visuals. Multitasking has never been easier.

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ASUS GlideX holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASUS GlideX has 2.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of OptiTools Mobile's written reviews are positive against 92% of ASUS GlideX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OptiTools Mobile ships an update every 4 months, ASUS GlideX every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
