Summit Free Public Library holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boundless has 18K ratings behind it against 80, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Summit Free Public Library's written reviews are positive against 32% of Boundless's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Summit Free Public Library ships an update every 4 weeks, Boundless monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
