# APTV vs 读不舍手

The clearest difference is ads: APTV at none against 读不舍手's shown. APTV also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 44%) and ratings volume (729 vs 4). 读不舍手's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. APTV sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 读不舍手 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

APTV holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: APTV has 729 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of APTV's written reviews are positive against 44% of 读不舍手's.

APTV ships an update fortnightly, 读不舍手 weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
