Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TaqReader at none against BaghStore's shown. TaqReader also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1K vs 83). BaghStore's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 59%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TaqReader holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TaqReader has 1K ratings behind it against 83, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of TaqReader's written reviews are positive against 92% of BaghStore's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TaqReader ships an update every 6 weeks, BaghStore every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
