Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sadlier Reader at 3.7 against Tapps TMS's 1.8. Sadlier Reader also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Sadlier Reader holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tapps TMS has 69 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Sadlier Reader's written reviews are positive against 24% of Tapps TMS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sadlier Reader ships an update every 25 months, Tapps TMS every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
