ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bolt Browser and Documents holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bolt Browser and Documents has 226K ratings behind it against 993, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Bolt Browser and Documents's written reviews are positive against 66% of fGet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bolt Browser and Documents ships an update every 6 months, fGet every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
