ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Source Viewer XL holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QuickPaste has 92 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Source Viewer XL's written reviews are positive against 77% of QuickPaste's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Source Viewer XL ships an update every 28 months, QuickPaste fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
