Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EpubReader at 100% against Notewrap's 45%. EpubReader also leads on price (Free vs $9.99). Notewrap's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Notewrap holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notewrap has 32 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Notewrap's written reviews are positive against 100% of EpubReader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Notewrap ships an update monthly, EpubReader every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
