Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JavaScript Anywhere JSAnywhere at none against HTML Viewer Pro's 2. JavaScript Anywhere JSAnywhere also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (459 vs 45). HTML Viewer Pro's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HTML Viewer Pro holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JavaScript Anywhere JSAnywhere has 459 ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of JavaScript Anywhere JSAnywhere's written reviews are positive against 47% of HTML Viewer Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

JavaScript Anywhere JSAnywhere ships an update every 2 months, HTML Viewer Pro every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
